Your chicken lays an egg the size of a grape🍇…5 reasons chickens lay fairy eggs🧚‍♂️

Have you ever found a tiny egg in your coop? These “fairy eggs” happen when a hen’s body skips the yolk part! Whether it’s a young pullet, an older hen, or just a random fluke, they’re harmless and kind of adorable.

5 reasons Chickens Lay Fairy Eggs:
Immature Hens:
Young pullets (first-time layers) often lay fairy eggs as their bodies figure out how to properly release a yolk.
Old Hens:
Older hens near the end of their laying cycle might randomly lay fairy eggs as their reproductive system slows down.
Stress or Disturbance:
A sudden scare, a big weather change, or anything that stresses a hen can trigger an incomplete egg to form.
Hormonal Mix-Up:
Sometimes a hen’s body releases a bit of egg white without a yolk, leading to a tiny shell forming around it.
Random Fluke:
Even a perfectly healthy hen might lay a fairy egg once in a while, just part of being a chicken!

Bonus Fun Fact:

Fairy eggs are sometimes called witch eggs, rooster eggs, or wind eggs in old folklore!
