What bird lays perfectly round, metallic blue, rubbery eggs with a seam around the equator? We have found these for 2 summers now. They look like nothing we have ever seen in nature! We are in middle TN. Could these be some strange part-natural part-synthetic egg mutations resulting from the permutation of man-made chemicals into the environment? I am new to Q/A and joined specifically because I found another question regarding these strange eggs. Is there a way to post pictures? Thanks for any answers/help you can give!

Thanks to Kathy P for weighing in! These are definitely eggs with yellow yokes as she confirms!

I am the other person who posted this same question. Mine were exactly as described here. They fell from our very tall oak tree and were all splattered about our driveway. They contained bright yellow oozing yolk, so that ruled out the superball theory ;p

As they days passed they pretty much melted into a blue metallic stain in our driveway.

(I know this is not really an answer, I just thought I would debunk the superball theory, I dont think those little things contain yolk).
