My 19 week old Isa brown layed a strange egg. She has been laying for approx one week. She was in the nesting box for some time this morning and did not lay. She was not as active as usual tonight and then layed this egg in the yard. It is fully formed on the inside. Soft on the outside and has a "gooey" substance on the outaide;you can see it somewhat in the picture. Please let me know what I should do. They have free choice oyster shells.

These eggs are common in brand new layers and don't mean much if they just happen once or twice.
If it continues to happen something in her egg laying department might not be functioning right.

Give her a bit more time to get things in order.

Thanks that was what I was hoping.
