what happened here?

this is all one piece. We found it today, couldnt figure out why the yolk is separated from the rest but still attached in its own membrane. There was absolutely no shell, just wondering if anyone has seen anything similar in their own chickens. I have never seen an egg laid where the yolk and whites came out separated.

It's not uncommon to get eggs with no shell. Do they have a pot of oystershells to eat for the extra calcium? Not sure why the yolk is separated, probably because the egg isn't formed properly.

We have oyster shell out there, we have about thirty hens and this only happens every few days, so it has to be only one hen doing it, we cant figure which one as they free range and all lay in the same hen house. I thought that was extremely strange though.

May be a good idea to give some vitamin powder in the water as Calcium needs Vitamin D to be absorbed, so a deficiency in VD can lead to one in Calcium
