Fart Egg
Last night for supper I made some french toast. I grabbed an egg laid early in the day. I noticed the egg was much smaller than the other eggs. I was so surprised when I cracked it open. No yolk! One of the chickens laid an egg with no yolk. Like a cherry without a pit or a peach without a stone, this egg had only white inside. According to wikipedia, this is unusual but not unheard of. Yolkless eggs are known as "wind eggs" or "fart eggs" or "cock eggs."

If you could get them to lay these more frequently, you could really capitalize on it. I'm sure many people would be willing to pay a bit more for yolkless eggs.
Sure, because they have more protein and no cholesterol. I could make a fortune!
