We have had some egg "sacks"

Our younger girls have been with us for three weeks, and we were told they would lay within 5-6 weeks, but twice this week we have had what can only be described as "egg sacks". The first was laid on the patio with no noise or disturbance, and I managed to get it picked up as it was out of the way, however, we have now stopped the girls coming out of their run (2 metres by 8 metres) by putting netting over it, as I was fed up with poo on the patio!!! The second was laid in the coup, but I was not quick enough to get it, and she was eating the yoke when I got there! (Don't worry, I will not be letting that happen, as I know once they have a taste!)

So, does anyone have any info on this? I know that they will not be developing shell for their eggs as yet, but how many of these "sacks" can we expect?

Lovely little tiny baby eggs they were too!!!

we got our first egg 2 weeks ago. Weve had tiny eggs, huge eggs, double yolks, just yolks no shell. Just shell no yolk. Some layed in coup some in the run. Getting better. This morning we had 4 good sized eggs all with good shells. Weve got 5 girls so was made up. I know its hard but be patient.
