My first girl just started laying this week! I thought she didn’t lay yesterday, and just found a hidden egg inside of a little hutch I keep their snack in. I didn’t even think she could fit in there! The egg is been in there for at least two days, I’m wondering if it’s OK to eat. The hutch is inside of a covered run but it’s still in the high 90s here during the day.

What if they’ve been outside 2-4 days in the hot heat?

Depending on how hot, and if you have roosters, I might not risk it, but it's up to you. This is good advice and holds true regardless of weather conditions:
When in doubt....
Open eggs one at a time in a separate dish before adding to pan or recipe,
use your eyes, nose, and common sense to decide if egg is OK to eat.
