Last month I posted a pic of an egg laid by my welsummer that had extra rough deposits on it. She hasn't had any more eggs until yesterday when I found a shell less egg in the coop. Today I found a shell less egg in nest box and what I think is a soft shell..only shell..on the floor of the coop. At first I thought it was a lash egg but it literally was just soft shell with a tiny oval shaped white blob in it. She is active and talkative, foraging like a champ when outside of the pen. Kind of at a loss? One pic is the glob I removed and the other is when I broke it apart. It almost had the consistency of wet shavings or paper

If you look at the broken apart pic to the left of it is the white blob. It was soft
 
I honestly have no clue. Theres been instances where the chicken will let an egg without a shell, but this I have not seen before... maybe shes eating the wet shavings you have? I know my chickens sometimes do that
 
This is the other weird egg?:

Your other birds are laying OK?
If so, then it's probably not diet related.

Did you cut the white blob in half?
Hard to tell if that is membrane material or sloughed tissue or infection.
Not sure what to think other than 'that bird has some serious plumbing issues'.
It can be really hard to diagnose, let alone treat, a wonky reproductive system.
I've had a couple 'lemon' layers.
 
A few questions:
How old is the bird?
What percentage protein are you feeding?
What treats are you feeding?
16%..they get a mash of their crumble, mealworms and what ever fruits and veggies I have in the fridge..they dont get any treats until they come out of coop and eat crumble first

The blob was soft, I did cut into it. The other girls are laying like clockwork! Yes that is the other egg. She actually had an issue with a few shell less eggs last summer and was not herself and i was going to get her checked out . The day i was taking her in she perked up and layed a perfect egg and had no further issues
