Pullet laid a shell-less egg

Your welcome! When I was mentioning heavy roos with light hens I was just telling you as a precaution as it's good to know. I had a light Sussex rooster and two Livorno hens they are much happier with my smaller buff Piemonte roo! I hope the hen does okay!
She was on top of the run when I went out to lock the chickens up last night (her and another pullet )She started 'laying' an egg soon as she got inside (still standing up but in an awkward position). One of the other pullets saw the white egg dangling out of her and pecked it before I could reach her. She turned around and started pecking at something on the floor but it was getting dark. When I tried to grab her she ran underneath the coop and came back out the other side .Thats when I grabbed her(the other pullet ran off) After I soaked her in warm water the other egg came out(no shell)Those small white pieces on the bottom of the tub are poop not egg shells.
