What is this in the egg with the yolk

[Amberf1209]

Welcome to BYC. It looks like it's a soft shell. Do you know which hen laid the egg? Was it bigger than usual?

I don't know which hen, but yes it was larger than they usually lay

I agree with @casportpony. Looks like your hen’s system had a slight malfunction.

How do I determine which one laid it? Symptoms?

I'm not sure which hen laid the egg. But they're all just under 2 years old. We got them from a few different places. How old are they when they molt. I'm new to this whole thing. I want to learn everything to know cause I'm an animal lover and I don't want pain coming to any of them. And they're diet? Yes i recently got a few different types of wheat from someone. And I've also been introducing different foods(fruits, veggies, breads ect) no pasta, raw potatoes citrus or rotten anything. And black fly larva.

They molt every year. Usually between spring-fall

By the sounds of it, you're doing everything right. It could just be because of the new feed.

They really should be on a layer feed or an all-flock, though, for proper nutrition. I am not saying that's what happens if you don't, but when I saw you say you feed wheat, that's not near the nutrition they need. Bread is empty and just a filler. Fruits and veggies are okay in moderation, but most try to get them to eat more of their feed so they get the vitamins and minerals they need, so keep treats to a minimum. Of course, they need treats, but just keep them as a treat and not a meal.

Also, it's a good idea to have a separate dish of oyster shell out. They eat that if they need it. If you happen to switch to an all-flock, that's higher protein so good for them, but has lower calcium, so they'll really need the added calcium.
