I'm not sure. It's one of 4 hens with the color egg it had. The inner shell was pretty soft. How would I go about checking?

just go around to the 4 hens and fell inside their abdomen area if you feel a full size egg in there one day and its still there the next day that could be a problem but i would also check the vent area to make sure nothing happened form laying that egg sorry to say this but i mean like make sure she didnt get ripped or anything of that sort

Cool! I've had double yolks but never an egg inside an egg like that!

I wonder what would have happened if the egg (eggs) had be fertile and the hen tried to hatch it (them)?
