Was she Eggbound?

I have an 11 month old olive Egger who hadn’t laid in 2 days and then l found 3 soft shell eggs in the poop hammock from overnight. She’s acting fine, eating drinking etc. Historically she’s a good layer. She was molting in one area in Feb and stopped laying but started laying end of Feb/beginning of March except this incident.
My first thought was she was eggbound and then thankfully they were released overnight? Any thoughts on this?
Thanks so much in advance for your ideas!

Hopefully that's just a system glitch....not egg bound
How many good solid eggs has she laid since the molt?
What all and how exactly are you feeding?

Yeah I’m thinking it’s a fluke. She’s been on the same layer feed, Purina, since I started giving them layer feed. She has probably laid a good 10-12 eggs since the molt. She’s usually my consistent layer. I do give treats of salad, corn, blueberries and blackberries. And of course grumblies

You should stop all of these treats. She isn't getting a balanced diet which could be part of the problem.

Agrees, the treats are likely diluting the nutrition in the feed and causing a calcium issue.
