Anything wrong with these eggs?

My EEs laid some blue/green eggs today that look different... I've been noticing increasing rough patches on the eggs, but never like this one, and the other egg has a strange dark spot on the bottom, but I wonder if this is from sitting in water (I already washed and dried it).

Please let me know what you think.
 
One of my EE's lays a perfect green-grey egg, while the other lays one with bumps on it like your photo. Every time. they both has access to purina layena and free range. I assumed it was just a trait of the hen. I have not seen dark spot like you show, however.
 
I went through my eggs in the refrigerator, and I also have a pink one with the same dark spot on the outside of it. I set them aside, i will crack them later, not sure what it's from.

To answer your question: Yes they have funny bumps and discolor on the outside. Otherwise they may be a little fragile but otherwise are fine, we get them all the time from both EE's and the other hens. Just a bit of equipment failure.
 
Wonderful, thanks guys. I was giving eggs away to family members since they watch my little girl at no charge, and I didn't want to give them the odd ones. I kept them at the house for me and DH, but wanted to make sure the chickens didn't need extra calcium or anything. Thanks so much.
