I've raised poultry and waterfowl for several years, everything for Peafowl to Call Ducks and I have seen these eggs for year. Finally, I asked a poultry specialist about the no-shell eggs, the answer makes since to me. It takes 2 or more hours for a hen to lay her egg, if she is disturbed during the process she will sometimes expel the egg before the shell has has been deposited. Seems like the younger less patient girls do this more often than the older hens but any hen will drop the egg early if disturbed. I don't have experience with canary hens but thought this might ease your concerns. It's not serious like egg binding, which I understand is a life threatening issue related to calcium deficiency.
