I didn't get a pic, but I have 9 chickens, since I get around 7 eggs a day on average, I'm figuring a couple aren't laying yet or an every other day thing.
Anyhow, tonite, I went to pick up an egg out of the box, it had a white film encasing it, a little gooey clear stuff on it as well, I scooped it up, the film came off the egg easily, the egg looked normal, cracked it open, looked normal.. So whats up with the white membrane covering the egg and clear gooey stuff??? A few days ago, my husband said he found one that had a pretty clear shell/soft shell. All other eggs I've been getting are fine/hard shells.
I'm thinking maybe one of them has just started laying may have something to do with it??
Thanks
Diane
