The second picture looks a lot like a lash egg. The first one I'm not sure. Do you know which hen laid it?

My guess would be lash egg too. Here is a good site that may help. Good luck...

First I'll say, we have 3 Roosters and 14 hens. They are free range and they get feed layer feed and scratch too. All hens have been laying for a while. I go to get eggs out of the nesting box today and I find something weird looking. One box had looked like a red ball it was squishy and when I popped it. It was yellow like a yolk. In the second box there was white silky flim and yellow yolk slimy stuff. It was broken in pieces but the slime was holding it together. Has anyone ever seen anything like that before?

Exactly how much scratch are you feeding?

I'd stop feeding it immediately and only feed the layer feed.

They only get a cup full once a day

No I have no idea

First pic looks like a torn up soft shelled egg, was there yolk inside?
They may have eaten the yolk.
Second pic is an ova(yolk) with follicle coating still attached.

For how many chickens?

Probably fine on the scratch amount......but I'd not be feeding males layer feed.
Better to go with an all flock type feed, 18-20% protein, and have Oyster Shell in a separate feeder for the active layers.
