My chicken laid a extra large bumpy egg yesterday and now today is lethargic. Should I be worried?

Hello All, Newer chicken mom here. We have had chicken for a little over a year, and the hen in question, BINGO, since November. BINGO is an Isa Brown and has been laying beautiful large eggs almost daily since January. She is usually super active and social with us. The night before last she did not make it in the coop before the door closed. The run is still secure, and I have no reason to believe that anything injured her, just that she probably had a stressful night. The yesterday while collecting the eggs I found hers in the crate outside the coop and it was HUGE (double Yoker) and really lumpy but hard shell. There was also poop in the crate which makes me think she stayed the night in the crate as well. Yesterday I didn't notice anything OFF about her deminer, but today she is very slow and disinterested in food, which is very abnormal. She did however lay a regular size perfect egg today. We have never delt with anything except a few dry pea combs over the last year, so I don't even know where to start looking for things wrong. I apprecaite any advice. Thank you

Can you try to get her drinking some fluids or electrolytes? Is she low in the pecking order or do you have a rooster? Hopefully, she was stressed not getting into the coop. Do you have any picture of her or the egg she laid? What do her droppings look like? Do you feed layer feed and does she have access to crushed oyster shell separate from her food? Is her crop full, and could you check it first thing in the am to see that it has emptied? Here is a number of abnormal eggs, and could you look to see if any of those look like the one she laid:

Hi, thank you for you quick response. she is the lowest on the pecking order, no rooster. No picture of the egg but it was at least two times bigger than usual, had a usual color and hard shell, but had ripples across the egg. it looked closest to the corrugated shelled eggs, but the shell was hard as usual. Droppings look, dark and firm. I am going to check her crop now (just watched a video on how to lol )

Have you had her long? I had infectious bronchitis in my flock years ago. I did see some corrugated or wrinled egg shells. The symptoms were sneezing for. 3 weeks that spread throughout the flock. But they all survived. Somme reproductive disorders later on. I would make sure that she is eating and drinking, and if the others are around, make sure that she gets her share.
