Pullet (Possibly an EE) layed a sack of blood and 2 yolks?

I'm wondering if this is concerning...

I didn't get a picture (Probably because they ate it the moment they saw it and I couldn't stop them), but just imagine a double yolker but instead of the white stuff (that I don't know the name of yet), there's blood...

Woah! I’ve never seen anything like that so I have no help or advice beyond checking her vent and keeping a close eye on her overall health. How old is she?

I'll check her out... there might be someting wrong with her, because she's layed a soft shell (Just the shell, nothing else!) before...

5 and a half months... she's my only pullet not to lay so far...

Sorry can I clarify that; you said pullet, but was that her first “egg”?

Second, her first was simply just a soft shell... just the shell...

Soft shells and double yolks aren’t uncommon in pullets as they get the kinks worked out, though some never do and continue to lay soft shells forever (usually good to cull them cause it’s too easy to teach the others that eggs are yummy!). I’d just watch her

Okay, thank you!
(I think a few already know...)

The 'whites' inside of an egg are called albumen, there are 2 major types in there.
There was no shell or membrane?

Soft shell is the membrane with no calcification(hard shell).

This excellent video explains the whole process.

No shell, but a membrane seemed to be there. When they pecked at it, the blood, yolks and the albumen flowed out.

Oh...

I'll watch that now, I guess.

Makes me feel a little better about culling a long term egg eater yesterday. She was from an old flock of egg eaters. She was the only one left...all others lived out their lives. I didn't want her to spread the habit in the new flock of silkies that lay on the floor and not in the boxes...i am shocked at what good layers they have been. I was sad...but the dog appreciates the wholesome jerky that I made him.
