Why does this egg look like this?

Date sort Score sort
It looks like the shell cracked when it was in the oviduct, but was sealed again. This can sometimes happen when a chicken is stressed out, if the oviduct just experiences a fluke, or if the bird is a new layer. It probably isn't anything to worry about.
 
Interesting! Thanks for the response. She isnt new to laying and I really doubt she is stressed, though just came out of a molting period last month so maybe thats it. I will keep an eye out just in case.
