Recenetly when collecting my eggs i found a egg that was only 1inch in the round and 1.5inches high. Just wondered what caused this?

it could be what is called a wind egg - also known as a blow egg, cock egg, fart egg or witches egg. Most are ususally just white with a tiny speck of yolk in. Nothing to worry about  :)
