Abnormal egg

[Tgulledge]

can anyone tell me why one of my chickens would lay an egg like this?
I believe it’s a new layer as I’m getting great eggs from about 10 of my hens. Is this a sign one is sick?
They all are looking and acting normal. Thanks

Is it a little soft? I haven't seen one like that, but I'm going to assume new layer hiccup.

It's likely just new layer hiccups. What are you feeding them?

When pullets first start laying they can give you all sorts of weird and bizarre looking eggs. Sometimes it takes a while for them to work all the kinks out

Thank you for all your reply’s, the egg was soft and looked completely normal when I cracked it open. Hopefully it was just a new laying issue!

What are you feeding, do you supply oyster shells on the side? Just keep track of how often she lays a funny egg, could be lacking a little calcium.

the egg was soft

Meaning the shell was thin?
Hopefully just a start up glitch.
I'd not worry unless you see more of them.

I’ve gotten one with a paper shell that was broken and a green looking egg yolk inside, then another 2 days later that looked like it was just egg white mucous- yuck. These six ladies just started laying 2 days ago (and I think only 2 are). I’ve got them on layer feed and they are in an optimal environment so I hope this is just start-up craziness and nothing wrong with whichever hen is doing this.

That does not sound good @minaayindra ...
...best to start a new thread here and post pics of what you saw.
