What is this in my nest box?

[Klomax22]

Okay so this evening i went out to grather eggs. And in one of my boxes there was a few eggs plus the fake egg and all this goopy stuff. Not exactly sure if its a broken egg since there was no broken shell. What could it be and why? Never happened before should i be worried.

It could be that an egg was laid with a thin shell and it broke and they ate it.
It could have been a shell-less egg.
How old are your chickens?
What exactly do you feed you flock?

They are 25 to 30 weeks. I feed drumor laying pellets plus they get oyster shells and large grit. Plus some drumor scratch grains on for fun. Also i give them soldier worms as treats. We have been getting a few paper shells lately and have some that are just starting to lay. I was really worried.

How much scratch and how often?
Limit it to once or twice a week and a very small amount.

This could be a new layer just figuring out how to lay eggs, so to speak.
I wouldn't worry if it is a one time thing.
If it becomes a regular thing then something could be wrong.
Just keep an eye on them.

It happens. At least they didn’t eat the whole egg. Probably good news...had a egg eater and the only evidence would be some yolk on the bedding and on SOMEONE’s beak!
