Weird egg

Found this in one of the nesting boxes today.... part hard shell, part soft and a couple of bits are a funny colour. I had a hen who had a bit of a runny tummy the other day and was a bit under the weather. She brightened up pretty quickly and went back to normal but her tail feathers were dirty so I gave her a wee soak in a warm bath with Epsom salts.... I can only presume this is from her and maybe the bath has done something??? Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you for reading

Calcium supplement. Try drying out shells and grinding up to feed back to them,

Thank you. I did wonder this. It was "normal" inside when I broke it so I don't think it is lash egg as I understand that is usually layers of pus/membrane inside. I will add some egg shells to their feed. I do this time to time anyway but may have been a little lax recently. I have also given them a handful of calci worms. Thank you for your help x
