One of my hens is layed an egg with no shell. Only egg white and yolk. I looked it up and nothing came up so I figured I would ask here. I have 2 hens that are around the age when they should start to lay so maybe it was one of them? I also have some older hens, and 2 roosters. I'm stumped so anything would be helpful.

The most common reason for this is that their low on calcium
can you include pictures please?
 
It's actually pretty common. It can be a calcium deficiency... Or just hormones fluctuating because of the seasonal shift. Rarely it's something more serious like internal laying. If she stops laying or it becomes a more than once occurrence I'd be concerned, but sometimes it's just a blip in their system.
 
Could be the new layers...or older birds ramping down for molt and winter break.
Both can produce some funky eggs.
