could it be hiding in the bedding so you did not see it. It would be pretty hard to pick it up unless someone dipped it in glue and than rolled it in crashed dark brown egg shells

I would say it was laid like that, not picked it up during hatching and it is pigmentation that did not apply evenly to the shell for whatever reason inside the hen. Are you concern with the hen rejecting the egg or that it may will hatch a sick chick from it?
