Possibly mum didn't eat enough minerals to form a shell?:-)

Looks like a hen's egg without the hard shell. Agree with Bornagain. That's what happens when they don't eat enough shell or grit.

But how would it have got into the garden? Looks pretty fragile.

Obviously a hen layed it there I would think. Might have found a gap in the fence or hedge.
