What is happening when we find 2 eggs on the same day, one soft shelled & the other nothing but a floppy membrane & liquid? This has happened twice.

We are getting 1 normal brown egg a day from one of our calico princesses, I've seen her lay so I know which eggs are hers. A lighter colored egg sometimes accompanies her egg, later in the day. I'm assuming it's the other calico because we have a leghorn and their eggs are supposed to be white I hear.

Process of elimination says the soft eggs belong to the Leghorn.

They get layer pellets, free range oyster shells & eggs shells, plus Grubbies which are high in calcium. Fresh water, and free range time everyday in our backyard where they find all sorts of bugs.

Any advice greatly appreciated!
 
Sometimes they push out to many eggs or push them out early if it becomes a regular thing then that usually means from my experience there is something wrong with the bird
