One of my chickens laid a soft shelled egg today. It looked like a deflated balloon but the yolk and white which had leaked out looked ok and didnt smell. Should i be worried?

No need to worry. Hens do this occasionally. Might need more oystershell grit - not that I have ever needed it with hens free range. It's usually just the hen's inside bits that have a blip.

Thanks for reassurance Alan. Today had 3 normal eggs
