Broken shell-less egg found under the roosts!

[Indiechick33]

Hi everyone, I have eight chickens and some have just started laying (we're getting 2-3 eggs daily). My chickens free range all day and are fed layer feed. (oyster shells are provided). The have all been healthy. This morning I found an egg under the roosts that seemed to be just a thin membrane and yolk (couldn't find any egg white). The membrane was broken. I am concerned the egg might have burst while still inside one of my ladies and have heard that the yolks can cause infection. Is this something to worry about, and what signs should I look for? The same morning there was an egg in the nesting box with a hole in the shell. Have the chickens been egg eating? Please reply to let me know what to do!
THANKS!!

Hello! Are any chickens showing signs of illness? My chickens lay shell less eggs sometimes, and since your chickens have just begun to lay they haven't quite got the nick of things just yet.

Sometimes my chickens have extra lumps of calcium on the shell, and if that lump gets knocked off there is usually a hole in the shell where it was.
