Hi, Today when i went out to collect the eggs i found what looks like egg white in the nesting box. But no shell or yoke. What's wrong? I haven't had chickens very long. Dose anyone know what's wrong??
What is something wrong with one of my chickens.

Probably nothing is wrong. One of the hens probably laid a thin-shelled or shell-less egg, then stepped on it, breaking it, then opportunistically gobbled the tasty treat, leaving a tell tale slime as the only clue.
It's a good idea to collect eggs often to avoid broken eggs, and hens subsequently acquiring an egg-eating habit.

Okay thank you. And ya some of the hens have tried to peck at the eggs when i have them in my hands as I'm collecting them from the nesting boxes. i was just worried because two of them haven't layed in a couple of days and i wasn't sure if there was something wrong or not.
