Soft shell eggs

[troutlakearts]

We have now gotten 10 dozen eggs from our 6 australorps -- occasionally we get a soft-shelled one, usually on the ground and while they are sleeping on the roost. However we did get one today layed in the nest. It was perfectly shaped but soft. I had to use a fork to pierce it -- it appeared that it was a perfectly good egg inside. Is this edible?? Does anyone know??

Also, it has been raining here for 4 days solid -- will a change in weather affect their laying??

There is at least 1 brave soul here who admits to eating soft shelled eggs.

I refrain, not because of the egg, but rather to the lack of protection from bacteria. I dunno.
