Prematurely laid eggs are often soft prior to leaving the hen. They get a harder shell on contact with ambient air and cooler temperatures. Not all come out like this but it does happen with older hens more frequently than birds in their prime.
It's likely a bird, such as a dove or quail, laid the egg. These birds often nest on the ground and lay eggs that are similar in size to a chicken's egg. It's not uncommon for birds to lay eggs in pots or other small, secluded areas in gardens.
Reptile eggs are soft-shelled - as opposed to the calcified shell of a birds egg.
Yes, birds are born alive inside the egg. When the baby birds are inside the egg they are the yolk and they eat the white part of the egg to progress until they are large enough to "break out of their shell".
actually, a bird egg is harder because in reptile eggs the outer shell has a soft outside so it is easier to break open since reptiles dont have sharp beaks and birds do.
If three birds laid an odd number of eggs each, and altogether they laid 19 eggs, the possible combinations are: 3, 7, and 9 eggs respectively.
Egg. Dinosours! They are the precursors of birds and they laid eggs.
they're quiet soft at first so that it is easy for the chicken to lay but not so soft that they'll squish or any thing. but after about a week of the chick growing they begin to get harder and are soon ready to collect. hope this helped from rosie xx
Yes, they can. My birds laid an egg in the winter.
They don't. Once the egg has developed to a certain stage, the egg is laid in the nest.

The eggs laid by monotremes (egg-laying mammals) are still called eggs. They are soft-shelled and leathery, rather than hard-shelled like birds' eggs.

The smallest normal egg is laid by one of the hummingbirds - some say the vervain. Other birds will on occasion lay a freak egg that is smaller.
No, only female birds lay eggs. If your cockatiel laid an egg, it's a girl!
the goose laid a golden egg.
