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."
