Today I notice that one of my chickens wasn't interested in eating scratch. As the others ate, she waddled off slowly to the laying boxes. She pooped clear poop, then jumped into the box and laid a soft, delicate egg. Several minutes later, she laid another egg. The soft shell was pulled off and to the side. The yolk and albumin was sitting on the bedding, just as if it were cracked open and left there. Another concern is that she has wetness on her hind feathers.

Thanks for any help.
 
Is she just starting to lay? I had a BSL that laid 2 rubber and a normal egg within 24 hours. The 2 rubber were within 5 minutes of each other. Hopefully, she'll get the glitch straightened out.
 
No, she's not new to it. They all started laying at the end of winter. Maybe you're right and its a glitch. I would hate for her to be sick.
