New breeders or older breeders have slugs more than others.

Slugs are just eggs they are infertile.

slugs are just infertile eggs. When a good egg is laid, it's usually white or off-white in color and firm to the touch (not hard like a chicken egg though). A slug often has more of a grayish look to it and also has the feel of a water balloon (ie. kind of mushy).
