Embryonic sac over soft chicken shell

[aSliceOfLife]

Okay, I thought I've seen it all but this morning I found a soft shelled egg that was covered with a rubbery loose embryonic sac looking thing. I have two young Rhode Island Reds that are just starting to lay, and I did find a soft shelled egg that I believe was one of theirs this past week, but I'm at loss for what this "sac" is that covered the entire egg. Any suggestions? The inside was a normal egg, yolk and all. Help! Heidi

These strange things happen when pullets are just starting to lay. I've gotten no shells, half shells, and one that looked like a GoodnPlenty. It's perfectly normal to have oddities until the kinks in their systems get worked out.
