Ant suggestions would be appreciated!
 
It appears to be excessive calcium or bloom. Some hens routinely produce eggs like this and others do so occasionally. I think it is just a minor glitch in the egg laying process, but watch for any changes in behavior.

Agreed, and it is also still safe to eat

I agree. It's not uncommon to get eggs like this occasionally, especially from new layers.

Thank you all, I really appreciate it. I do give my hens bread in the winter, wonder if too much but only one hen lays like this.
