fully formed egg with white thing!

My production red layed this this morning what is this?

That's a pretty weird looking egg. Its probably just a glitch in her egg-making system.

My production red layed this this morning what is this?

How old is your hen?
Is that a hard shelled egg?
Is that membrane or poop on and around the egg?

Could be a glitch, if it only happens once...could be something more serious.
I'd keep a close eye on her.......any other symptoms of illness?
Is she eating, drinking, pooping normally...is she active?

 

[TheBeardie]

She's almost 2, it is a regular egg under whatever it is, it's membrane and she has a wound on her neck that is slowing her down.

Sometimes chickens can put a second coating over a shell, or so I've heard. I've never had an egg like that (so far).

 

[TheBeardie]

It's the white part of it is soft and kinda squishy. I've never seen any thing like it!

 

[GitaBooks]

Sorry for not explaining better, I meant they put a second coating of egg white over the shell.

That looks like tissue and good bit of it....hopefully it's not tissue from the lining of the reproductive tract.

It could be another egg membrane, fully shelled eggs sometimes migrate back upstream from the shell gland and join another yolk, albumen, membrane and shell.....
.....or just some of these....producing an egg within an egg.

Does the inside of the shelled egg look normal?

I'd keep a close eye on her, take a look at her vent, and hope for the best.
