Bumpy Textured Eggs xpost

[DuckDuckSook]

Hello Friends!

So when I collected my ducks' eggs today, I noticed that two of them have a very bumpy, rough texture on them. Please see photos below for reference. Is that something to be concerned about? Does it affect the egg quality? Can you still eat them? It is important to note that today is only the 2nd day since the fall that I've collected 4 eggs from my 4 ducks. I had a steady flow of about only 2 eggs a day this winter. Could the texture on the eggs be a result of some ducks not laying much or at all in the winter and starting up again? Does it mean they are lacking anything nutritionally? For reference, I have 4 Indian Runner ducks and they are a year old. Thanks in advance for any insight and help! I have also cross posted this in the chicken egg forum too.

Anyone have any thoughts? I looked it up and I think it is called a pimpled egg. They have extra oyster shell so they should be good with calcium. Maybe just getting back into the swing of laying. I also saw that something might have disrupted the laying process while the eggs were being laid and added some stress.

Usually when they have taken a long break from laying they can have this occur along with other things like soft shell and weird shapes but usually after a week or so the system get things worked out.

Thanks. That's what I figured but just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything I could do to help with it.

I have that weird bumpy stuff randomly on my chicken eggs. Doesn't change the quality of the egg. I tend to eat them myself and not sell them because I don't have an explanation to give to buyers.
