Hi
My hen have laid an egg with no shell only yolk and the white two times maybe more.
She. Also poops when she. Lays the "egg"
Is this normal?
 
I can't claim to be an expert on why this happens but I've seen it often enough and more often when my hens were all young. It never seemed to indicate they were sick. More often when they just starting laying.
 
Can you check her vent see if it is clean if it is not then it is probably vent gleet and you can treat it with something from tractor supply. I would also add some nutradrench and what kind of food are you feeding her and does she have oyster shell available? Also, How long has she been laying and how old is she? Pictures would be great.

Yes, get some oyster shells on the side for her she'll get what she needs. Sometimes you will get little "faults" here and there. Just makesure it doesn't keep recurring.
