welcome to the board Smile

sorry to tell u but the egg is of no use anymore cz it rolled Exclamation

what's more important now is to know who is laying the eggs cz more could be on the way. since ur turtles are old enough to lay, u should be able to tell which are males and which are females. separate them and examine their behavior. if u see lots of digging with back feet then she might be having more eggs to lay. but well she might also not have so that's not gonna be easy Rolling Eyes

just keep an eye on them for a while and u might want to consider separation for good if u know nothing about breeding cz it's not easy + the babies need lots of care and space

good luck and keep us posted Smile

btw, if u need more info just ask cz there are many experts in here
