Anyone every get a petite size egg from RIR?

Yesterday I found this little brown egg in one of the nest boxes[middle egg]. The white egg is an amazon parrots egg just for size and the right most egg is standard size I've been getting from my RIRs and Buffy.

What the heck??

I feel cheated! lol

that's called a fart egg-it "went through" without developing properly-it happens every now and again-they're kind of funny

tha's funny I typed f a r t and it wouldn't accept it and turned it into "wind" but you can go over to BYC and read about 'em

They are called fart eggs.

Edited to add:

I don't remember where I found this when I was researching "fart egg" but saved it.

Occasionally, some young hens will lay eggs that have no yolk whatsoever, only a small amount of grayish tissue. These eggs, historically called "cock eggs" because some people erroneously believed that they were laid by roosters, are now often jokingly called "fart eggs" by people who raise chickens and encounter these unusual eggs with some regularity.

Yes, it's a wind egg. I get one every so often and the girls just love to see them. The last one is on the counter in a small container because they didn't want me to use it.
