Since I've already done a lot of research, I knew what it was and why it happened. BUT, I figured it would be great to share with you guys here!
This is, yes, it's an egg. It's a shell-less egg, often called a soft egg, or rubber egg. This is something that happens for a couple reasons, usually it happens when the hen is just first starting to lay. Other reasons this happens is because the chicken may not have enough calcium in their diet, or it can even be signs of some sort of illness. Wait, don't freak out though, it is more likely they're lacking calcium in their diet.
My chickens are just starting to lay, so that's the reason that I keep finding soft shelled eggs. I made sure and added an oyster shell supplement in their coop, in a separate dish, to make sure they could get the calcium they need.
Of course I poked the crap out of it. This was the first soft egg that I have ever touched!
Then I noticed something inside...
AND I DECIDED TO DISSECT IT!
SO, there was a soft egg, WITHIN a soft egg! How crazy is that?
I have got a few soft shelled eggs since. Everyone should be laying by the end of this month... I am sure almost every single chicken that has started laying has laid at least one soft shell egg. Totally weird.
