It's a soft shell egg ... that "spot" looks to be blood

Assuming it's from a chicken that just started laying .... What are you feeding?
Soft shelled eggs due to the need for more calcium ... You could crush up some Tums or Calcium tablets if this is happening often. Oyster Shells in a separate dish would be a good idea also. Layer has "extra" calcium (making it a layer) but sometimes they need more. Having OS on the side they'll eat as they need. I feed FR (higher protien) with OS in a side dish, haven't had issues with shell quality.

As to that "spot" ... Do you have a Roo with the girls? First I thought a "meat" spot which is lining that "sheds" along the way the eggs forming. Closer look, it looks like blood spot, so assuming it's a new hen laying? I'd keep an eye on the one laying it, if it's a new layer it'll work itself out.
