Yellow outside of egg?

[RoosterHuggerLiz]

So I have a few girls but only one of them lays so far, my other two are do to be laying soon ( estamate about early April) and so this discovery worried me well, today I let my girls out and walked away for a moment, when I came back out I found a weird egg coated in a yellow substance and with fragments of what look to be the membrane of sorts (like the kind you'd find on a tick yoke or on the inside of the shell) I would have guessed that my big black laying hen had laid it but in the day as well as she's trained to use the nesting box so why was it in the middle of the yard? I wash it for further inspection and I found it to be white instead of her usual Brown, could it be that something is wrong with her causing her to lay off colored eggs with a yellow substance or could one of my younger girl could have started laying without me noticing? Any ideas? Notes? Thoughts? It would all be appreciated! ( I forgot to mention, the younger girl whom is the only other one other the my laying hen I could suspect of laying an egg like that is a young Rhode Island red, my other pullet is a Bantam and the egg was a good size)

Hard to say if a second egg was laid there by another bird,
soft or thin shelled and as such easy pickings for snack.
or she laid a softie along with the shelled egg.
Lack of brown pigment added might indicate a second egg.

Just keep an eye on her.
Might be a good idea to take a close look at her vent.

Looks like another eggs was laid and was either a soft shell and then broke or the other egg cracked. I would keep an eye on the flock to make sure they don’t continue to break eggs and eat them.

Thank you guys for all your help! So I talked to a vet and I found out that it was due to inflammation, I'm not sure if I added this but in the week prior to that off egg she had laid three double yolk eggs, it cost her a lot of stress and cost for inflammation, she didn't lay any eggs for about a week after, She' doing much better now, but I do still worry about her, She lays an excessive amount of eggs oh, I'm pretty sure they're only supposed to lay 4-5 a week but she'll lay anywhere between 6 - 9 and she still gives me the double yolk eggs regularly, I'm unsure what's wrong with her or if that's just normal for her breed ( unknown, she was a rescue) But Im keeping a much closer eye on her now, Any ideas? Maybe a birth defect or is it just her breed?

It looks to me like another egg was broken, then eaten leaving no trace but a stain on the other egg

You 'talked' to a vet?
Did the vet examine the bird?

Have you positively ID'd the bird that laid the egg?
What breed is she?
How many birds do you have total and what are their ages in weeks?

Yeah, I ended up taking her the the vet, The veg told me she was having an formation issue because of all the large eggs, he medication and we haven't had a problem since, she still lays a lot of double yoked eggs, but all in all she's doing much better, her breed is a Jersey Giant, she's actually a rescue so I don't know her age exactly, I was just told that she was an older hen
