Sometimes things go awry in the reproductive tract and it will try to lay down a second shell on an egg. Sometimes it is even a second hard shell over a shelled egg. Generally it is nothing to worry about.

Welcome to BYC!
How old is the hen or pullet, that laid this?
What are you feeding?
Do they have access to oyster shell?
Is it very hot where you are?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Looks like the egg backed up in the plumbing and got a membrane put on it.
How are the pullets/hens behaving? Anyone seem off?
