Weird egg

[Nene_putnam]

I was checking on the chickens this evening and I found this shell-less egg it seems , under one of the roosts. It looks like there is some kind of stuff on the bottom of it too?!

I have no idea... My experience says don't mess with it. It could be a snake egg. Quote "under one of the roosts"..... Snake or bird. Chicken. Idk now. Do you have an incubator? Is it sticky to touch it looks like it's dripping something... Use a wet paper towel to clean it. I learned that today. Instead of rinsing.

Do you know which hen it came from?

Is it a snake egg or a real chicken egg. It looks like grass is stuck to it. It might smell.... Rotten egg.

Candle it.... See if there is something growing inside.

Sometimes shell less eggs happen, the trouble is figuring out which hen laid it and why

Sometimes if the hen is new to laying or has a calcium deficiency they can lay these weird eggs. I’ve gotten a few

I think it is a chicken egg, like @Cinnamon11 said sometimes they happen when you have a new hen laying and her body is still working it out.

Ah I see. A beginner's soft egg?

But what's the stuff at the bottom?
