Something is wrong with the egg 107/365

Those were the words I heard out of Hunter's mouth as he ran up the hill from the back yard.  I looked at him thinking I would see a cracked egg, but no, instead he was holding a miniature egg.
We went inside and decided to do our research.  I will admit that I thought something may be wrong with one of our feathered friends.  Hunter on the other hand thought that maybe a snake had ventured into the coop and left an egg.  However after a little research, we found out that it does happen, and it is called a..............
FART EGG!  Isn't that hilarious?  Our chicken laid a fart egg.  The little egg has no yolk, and is a freak thing that doesn't naturally happen very often.  We are learning so much through our urban chicken farming.  It has been a great project for our kids and I highly recommend it. I can't even count the number of life lessons that the chickens are teaching our kids.  And we have also learned this funny little lesson about fart eggs.
