We get them like that once in a while. Usually they don’t even have a yolk in them. My grandson collected one a couple of weeks ago and I bet him a dollar it wouldn’t have a yolk in it, of course that one did have a small yolk, about the size of a small pill. I paid him his dollar.
Eh...wot?

My grandfather told me they were from young hen. Usually no yolk, but fun for us kids to gather up and eat

^^^This^^^ It's called a Pullet egg. I have picked up Rhode Island Red first eggs smaller around then a quarter. Every egg gets bigger every 3rd or 4 day. In about 2 weeks the eggs will be big. And will be double yokes for a few wks till they start laying close to one egg a day.

Older birds lay them too. Our layers are currently two and three years old and we just got a tiny egg like that a few weeks ago.
