One of our chickens laid the first egg of our first flock this morning!
We noticed something that we hadn't expected when we found the egg. It was surrounded by a yolk-y looking liquid. At first we thought the chickens had smashed the egg, but when we pulled it out the egg looked fully intact and perfectly normal. We haven't cracked it yet, so not sure what the inside looks like. I searched to see if this was a common thing for first time layers but couldn't really find anything. Anyone else experience this?
