Seems like it was laid by someone who didn't understand. I found it in their run, & it was bright yellow, like a real Easter egg, dyed yellow (sloppily). I picked it up & of course it was yolk. The eggshell is NOT cracked.
I now have my Sherlock Holmes hat on, & wonder, do I have an egg-eater? I see no sign of an egg with a cracked shell.
Or, (best case scenario) could she somehow have smeared the yolk while hatching it? I know that doesn't seem reasonable.
I finally washed it after I was sure it was yolk, and now I have a 2nd question: What color is it? Initially, I thought it was white, from one of my 2 white leghorns, though they have showed no signs of being at POL, that i've noticed.
I'm a NEWBIE, & they were all born March 9, making them 20 weeks old today, and yesterday I got a perfect, small brown egg - MY FIRST, so of course I'm prowling around invading their privacy as often as I am able, but I do have a life (such as it is) away from my hens.
TIA, every or anyone.
