So I have a few girls but only one of them lays so far, my other two are do to be laying soon ( estamate about early April) and so this discovery worried me well, today I let my girls out and walked away for a moment, when I came back out I found a weird egg coated in a yellow substance and with fragments of what look to be the membrane of sorts (like the kind you'd find on a tick yoke or on the inside of the shell) I would have guessed that my big black laying hen had laid it but in the day as well as she's trained to use the nesting box so why was it in the middle of the yard? I wash it for further inspection and I found it to be white instead of her usual Brown, could it be that something is wrong with her causing her to lay off colored eggs with a yellow substance or could one of my younger girl could have started laying without me noticing? Any ideas? Notes? Thoughts? It would all be appreciated! ( I forgot to mention, the younger girl whom is the only other one other the my laying hen I could suspect of laying an egg like that is a young Rhode Island red, my other pullet is a Bantam and the egg was a good size)
