Hello. let me start out by saying i have 10 chickens. 3 arent laying yet. currently i have 3 nesting boxes with hay in it. today i came home and 4 eggs were in 1 nesting box. On closer inspection i saw that there was a sticky light yellow substance all in the hay and on the egg shells of the 4 i got. I thought maybe one of the eggs had a hole in it so i brought them inside and washed them and there was no hole anywhere in the 4 eggs. I am really confused and then i thought maybe they laid an egg then they ate the shell and left the yolk in the box? It didnt really have a definite form like the normal orange yellow yolk it was more like a puddle of it. There was ants in there eating on it too.
I read somewhere about jelly eggs does this fit the description i just gave you? Are the eggs i got that were ok safe to eat since they were in the substance? thank you and any help is appreciated.
