I'm sure it is an omlette as well but sometimes a first egg from a pullet can be formed without any shell, just the inner membrane holding it together. I was learning about them here on BYC on one of the threads about eggs.
Apparently it is not an uncommon first egg and happens when their reproductive system is still gearing up. They do look gross though! We did not eat ours. Too weird looking.
Maybe someone here will have a more technical answer but that is what I've come to understand can happen and sure enough it did to ours. That chicken is laying nice large normal eggs every day now. The shells are nice and hard and normal. Just the one was like that.

Arin - you didn't go to HS in Tacoma, did you...? If so, we're friends on facebook and have been chatting about a visit this weekend...

I'm reposting my request:

I live in Kitsap county and would like to participate in someones poultry processing. I've never done it before and want to see if it's something I could actually do.

Thank you Rainplace, I appreciate it.

Oh by the way, what area of Kitsap are you in? North, Central, or South Kitsap? I'm just curious. I live just outside of Indianola.
