One of my girls... I only have two...laid a yolk only this morning. I will add two things. They are just coming off a long, hard molt up here in Massachusetts. I've only seen two eggs so far in the past week and don't know who they were from. Not sure if one hen is laid both eggs or they are both laying now. The other thing is, my Buff has been sneezing a bit. Other than that she seems ok. Eating and drinking, acting like a chicken, walking around pecking, scratching etc. She did look a little puffed up the other day though. But I have no idea who laid the yolk! Any thoughts? Is this normal after coming off a molt?
 
Either young or your bird requires more calcium or both. I have seen shell less eggs as well. They need a high calcium diet because the egg making process depletes the calcium up fast in their bodies.
Give egg birds a calcium rich diet such as egg maker pellets and/or crumbles. Offer crushed oyster shells on the side..;)
 
Pretty common to get weird eggs like that occasionally, especially during periods of fluctuating hormones (which the end of moult is). Give a little more calcium and it should go away.
