jelly egg? where`s the shell?

[1FastFlamingo]

Ok, first time seeing this. Below the spot where all my girlies roost, my son and I found a soft, jelly egg this evening. It was fully formed with a yolk, but had no shell, just the membrane inside of the shell holding it together. Almost all my girls are grown up spring chicks, gearing up and laying. Could this be someone`s first egg they pooped out by accident?

Could be, but you will get shellless eggs occasionally.

Oh yeah, my son Brian is also curious... edible? and how would he crack it? lol!

I found one of these this morning also. However it was NOT where the girls usually lay. It was out by the food under a roosting bar. It was frozen by the time I got to it, but it was not there yesterday.

It was all wrinkled and had weird dents in it. I just tossed it, but now wish I would have opened it!

Some people have posted that they eat them. I have not, I would worry that without the shell, it would be more prone to have bacteria at unsafe levels. Especially if it sat awhile.

Tell Brian that he should crack it on top of his head.
