First Soft Shell egg

[Queenofchicks]

So my americuana who has been extremely regular layer since her first egg was acting a little funky, and just now she laid her first soft shell egg. She’s only about a week into laying should I be concerned? Also she hid this time before my coop. So I’m debating on having it blocked off so they can get back there again. What do you guys think? She’s been extremely regular in laying in her nest everyday. This is the first she’s hidden and laid an egg not in the nest.

I just brought her inside to get a better look and does her comb look okay?

Her comb oils like it lost it’s brightness and I know that could be the light but it looks light pink now

And just now she just pooped this out… look like there is yolk in her poop

Okay so she was definitely egg bound probably why she was acting funky and she just laid this while I was cuddling her. It’s definitely not as firm as her first one which now I think she laid yesterday. Cause you can see it when I put them side by side.
