Someone also said once in the emergency forum that an egg bound hen can lay flat ones if an egg passes by one that is bound... but other than that I have no clue!
 
Last night we had a thunderstorm with lightening and this morning a hen that has been laying for three months laid a soft shelled egg in the run and later a flat sided egg in the nesting box.It was almost identical to yours and I think it was a soft shelled egg just hardening as it came out as it was flat on the bottom. It was also a much paler colour. I tend to think the storm may have upset her laying routine.
 
My hen lays eggs all the time with dents, ripples or "stretch marks" as I like to call them but this week they've been flat on the sides. Nothing has changed,still look the same when I Crack them so I guess I won't worry.
