What is happening???

my chicken just squatted and out popped a yolk and sack on the ground, no shell and 3 of them gobbled it up??? What the heck was that?

Sometimes pullets will lay those shell-less eggs when they first start. It’s unlikely for hens to, how old is yours?

23 weeks, she's been laying daily for about 3 weeks now. Could it be the heat and humidity?

I think my fat girl of the same age did it too just minutes before but it was just a clear blob. Its quite disturbing

I haven’t heard anything about weather changing the egg formation, but it’s normal for younger ones to lay a dud every once in a while

They have tasted fresh eggs now, it's going to be real hard for you to stop them from eating fresh eggs now.

It just happened do fast. I'm sitting out here watching them free-range and she just came up close to me and squatted, I looked over and saw yolk then her and 2 others ate it up. It freaked me out

 

[RebeccaRN]

I know she laid an egg today already so that is just weird

 

[RebeccaRN]

Should I be worried

If it's been really hot and they are not eating enough.

What all and how exactly are you feeding?

Eh, maybe...at least the soft shelled ones.....fair game, IMO.
But good to be vigilant, use lots of fake eggs and get those sofites picked up before they eat them if at all possible.
