Band around egg?

[mcdaid36]

Every once in a while I get an egg that looks like there has been some kind of band squeezing it as it was forming. Anyone know what it is?

I haven't posted pictures in a long time. Hope this works. If it does, you can see the shadow of the band I was mentioning.

Are they ever double yokers ? Wonder if 2 meet up and join in one shell?

Hmmmm - interesting, I had one similar, but with a bulge around the middle instead of the indentation. Completely normal inside - and very tasty

I'd love to hear an explanation!!

i've had a few like that, they tasted the same LOL!

I think they have their belt on too tight!

Chickens are biological - of course! You will see all sorts of strange things if you raise chickens long enough. Most are just a hiccup in the egg factory and nothing to worry about.

With the mass marketing of white commercial eggs we have come to expect every egg to be perfect. A very high percentage of eggs are far from perfect. They taste fine. They are fine. They just don't meet our anticipated standard of perfection.

Eat more eggs.

If it happens once in a while don't worry. If all the time probably genetic, ok to eat but wouldn't use for breeding.
