@BlindLemonChicken its egg. I went back out to coop, and there’s splattered yolk on the wall. Well..now what? Was it a shell-less egg? Or is the shell still in there?? I foresee a vet visit in my future. I’m GUESSING the long clear white thing is the white of the egg. I wonder if this happened early this morning, and the white just oozed out?? Sigh. Chickens chickens chickens..don’t we have enough to deal with, keeping predators away??
I’ve had 2 chickens lay soft shell eggs without having a broken shell in either bird. One BO used to shoot the occasional soft shell out of her butt when stressed, like a Chicken Cannon
My fist chicken who laid her first egg, was shell-less. It just kind of popped out. And broke on the coop steps. My husband and I were dumbfounded, being new to chickens. My husband finally stuttered out “there’s something wrong with your chicken” lol.I’ve had 2 chickens lay soft shell eggs without having a broken shell in either bird.

I think your girl will be fine, but you should probably give her a calcium tablet in case there is anything left in her.
She needs vitamin D to properly process the calcium and because this is more emergent she needs a high dose that will work quickly.
I’m hearing vet visit.
When I first saw the picture, I thought it resembled chalaze, the part of the egg that attaches the yolk to the egg on each side. So, maybe that is what it was.
