Sometimes, when a pullet has just started laying eggs, its reproductive system lays a tiny yolkless egg. These eggs are common and usually nothing to worry about. The eggs can also be called fart eggs, cock eggs, fairy eggs, dwarf eggs, and witch eggs.

What causes a Yolkless egg?

They're usually yolkless if a hen hasn't released a yolk yet by the time her body starts producing the shell. In those cases, a bit of reproductive tissue breaks off inside the oviduct and triggers the formation of an egg by tricking the hen's body into thinking the tissue is a yolk.

Can you eat a fart egg?

Yes! They are perfectly safe to eat. The first Fart Egg we got was only a single yolk with no egg whites.
