Is this a soft shell egg?

[Old Mrs. MacDonald]

Because we took her to the county fair, Lucy has been quarantined in a cage away from the rest of the flock. To our knowledge she has never laid an egg before. This evening I find this in the cage. Its the size of a small egg. None of the other laying hens have soft eggs so I don't know why she would. Should I add oyster shell to their diet??





Thanks for your help!

Looks like it to me. Did you find the mess by this shell? Looks like a deflated shell less egg.

No mess. No broken shell or anything. Just this.
