Your hen may be very young. For the first few weeks when the pullets start to adjust their internal "egg factory" they can produce thumb sized eggs and what we call Pee Wee eggs. They are perfectly good to eat but too small to market. On a farm, these eggs are what the farm kids get for breakfast or what we use for pickled eggs. One other note, as the pullet adjusts to producing eggs the extra small, practice eggs can be empty or contain no yolk at all.
You also may have a bantam breed of pullet.

∙ 15y agoThe breed of the hen determines the egg size. Most breeds will lay small, even tiny eggs when they first start to lay. Call them practice eggs. They do this while their reproductive system develops. After the first five or six eggs you should notice an increase in egg size.
If , however you have a bantam or a bantam cross you may just have to settle for pee wee eggs for breakfast.
