Sometimes chickens eat spiders that live and then the spiders lay eggs on the chicken eggs before they hatch so that there’s more spiders outside the chicken. It’s a symbiotic relationship between the two.
I knew you would ask that, because i was asking myself the same question when i wrote it, but - they just are? If I can choose between getting my eggshells with a days-old smear of dried chicken poop or a bunch of freshly laid fly eggs with larva teeming inside, I'll take the poop every time.
Well, I'm in doubt too.. as long as they're fresh, I would care either. Sometimes I get fresh local eggs, still warm. But I've never seen eggs on them, to be honest. After all, if flies lie eggs on poop, in a chicken cage there are MANY more comfortable places to lay, and far from the chicken's beak.

It's just a buildup of calcium nodules. Ask a chicken farmer about it sometime

Eggs on your egg so you can egg while you egg.

Extra protein, even more if you let them grow first
hazingpaddles
Ehhh you gotta feed em to let em grow so is it really "extra"?
ClownishAntics
It's pig economics, if you'd eat what you feed them to grow, you wouldn't need them

dude, they come out of a chicken's ass, did you assume they were sterile?

Dude, I'm fine with chicken poop & dirt & feathers on my eggs, but I've never had one with a whole fly nursery on it. Ack!
lospaturno
I mean, how are fly eggs worse than chicken poop?
