Slimy black substance inside duck egg

Mods feel free to move this post.

We have some ducks, and the one duck (Cayuga) always has eggs with a large mass of this slimy black waxy substance. What is it? I'm not sure what to make of it and am [somewhat] afraid to eat them.

Any ideas as to what it is?

Thanks,

Joe

Post a pic of it?
Are they gathered fresh daily...or out in range area somewhere?
