one of our rescue hens has taken a couple of weeks more than the other 5 to settle in, well today she gave out a well proud of herself 'I've laid' call...

best egg ever

Are you sure it's not a snooker ball she'd swallowed and the call you heard was just straining a big poo?

All you need is an additional disabled egg and you have filled the diversity quota

They are not full feathered yet so cannot tell, they apparently Lohman Browns or Rhode Island Red x's, defo commercial hybrids. They don't half follow you around it's well cute.

Props on rescuing them! Have you got any photos? A friend rescues some every now and then, and they always come out looking really bare but seem to grow into quite beautiful birds!

Sounds like it may be a pullet egg.  High yolk to white ratio, very delicious.
