Calcium Deposits?? I think?

[babychickfarmer]

Only one of my hens are laying eggs with the calcium deposits on it. (the little pimple looking things.) What causes that?? Is there any way I can get rid of it??

Mine have that too, sometimes. Usually, they are lavender colored, LOL. I have no idea why exactly they are on there nor what you could do about it. It really isnt a problem, I guess. Sorry I dont really know how you could stop it. Must just be the way they form the shells sometimes.
*** I did find this statement for you:


Some eggs have a rough pimply appearance. The pimples (calcium deposits) are distortions to the shell. Infection is not responsible because pimpling also occurs in disease-free flocks. The defect may be partly hereditary
