One of my chickens instead of laying an egg it looks like a blowout, no shell just yellowish, thicker liquid. It looks like it wanted to be an egg. It started happening after another chicken died. All three were laying eggs for a week then it started we got two and find this blow out. Has anyone experienced this?
 
Any pictures?? Sometimes when chickens just start to lay they lay some wierd eggs, I don’t think you have to worry about it.
We've had these chickens about a year and they've been go layers, the winter it slowed down but I think it was the one chicken that died, I believe it was old age. Right now they all seem healthy, running around eating, drinking.
 
Just died, one day she didn't wake up. The other two seem to be doing fine.
I've heard of lack of calcium causing really thin/non existent shells, but I am not sure if that would cause a hen to die suddenly?
It could be noted that stress can cause that, as well

I don't have any pictures right now but I will take one and post it.

The 'blow out egg' was from the chicken that died?

1 year old is not old age....did you get them as chicks or....?

What all and how exactly are you feeding?

I'm sorry, I was not clear. The chicken that died has nothing to do with these blow out wet spots. I have three chickens, one of them is doing this. It started about a week after the other chicken died. We feed them pellets, cracked corn, meal worms and on cold mornings hot oatmeal. The three don't seem to be in any discomfort, the three run around the yard together. One of them goes into the coop nesting box earlier then the other two.
