This is SOOOO weird! What would cause this? It was kind of "rubbery!"

(This egg was from sometime today or last night)

How old is this chicken and what exactly do you feed her?

5 of the 7 hens I have were gifted as chicks in very early October. I just went from Dumor pellets to Blue Bonnet Nature's Balance Egg Booster crumbles.

Probably not enough calcium. It looks like a shell less egg. Do you provide oyster shrlls on the side or mixed in the feed? If not, try it to boost calcium level.

Yes, they had a bowl full not long ago. I'll have to dump the eggshells I have crushed up in the coop tomorrow.

Do this egg could have been laid by a brand new layer?

Maybe. I thought they had all started already, but some of the eggs were a little elongated yesterday and today.

This is normal for a new layer.
I wouldn't worry about it.

Thank you for the help! I'll also be sure to up the calcium.

Your fine giving them crushed egg shells too . Mix it in their feed.
I call that a silicone egg..feels weird doesnt it .?
When the egg machine starts out it sometime malfunctions .
( I call that a egg machine malfunction )
that egg went through the system so fast it missed its shell coating
Now that you have your own eggs ....you will get weird eggs every once and a while .
Not like perfect store bought eggs .
it usually works itself out ..I would NOT worry unless it is a everytime thing
