Normal poop?

I had a sick chicken over a month ago and I treated her, she seemed to be egg bound. Yesterday, I found her dead in the coop. She’d been fine. Today, another chicken leaves this poop, which I haven’t seen before. I’m worried I’ve missed something.

I would start this bird on a calcium supplement asap. Citracal +D or generic equivalent, any pharmacy should have. That appears to be a malformed and shell-less egg. The calcium will help with contractions to expel anything else, and help with shell quality. Aim for 600-800 mg once a day for a week or two, and see if things improve. What do you feed, including all treats, and do they have oyster shell available all the time in a separate feeder? How old is this bird and was she laying normally before this?
 
I feed Dumor crumble, oyster shell is always available. I do feed treats either organic store bought, occasional bread, and/or fruits & veggies. She is a 2 year old RIR who had been laying normally. We’ve had several super soft shelled eggs but couldn’t figure out who was laying them.
