Egg with a membrane on the outside.

I noticed one time last week when I went to get eggs it looked like egg white was on one of the eggs, so I just assumed that one of my hens had layed a shell-less egg. I went out to get eggs today and noticed that one of my eggs had a membrane around it with what looks like egg white. Anyone know what might cause this?

Hi!

Is it possible that you managed to catch the eggs right after they were laid?

If so, it could just be egg bloom:

Bloom. 1. The moist, protective coating on a freshly laid egg that dries so fast you rarely see it

Hope this is some help!

It's definately not bloom. I didn't go out there until 6:30pm and most of the eggs are laid in the am. This was fairly thick and had quite a bit of thick fluid in it.
