Would love to see pics of them!

Here is an egg I've been getting this shape for about a month. It's from one of my silver laced wyandottes. Why is it like this? It's not soft just weird shaped.

They do that sometimes. Hopefully she will start laying better shaped ones soon.

For now, I would keep those for myself and do not give them to the neighbors.

What a waste of good hens

I agree !!!!!

Looks like "Egg Drop Syndrome" which is a virus. From what I have read, they recover from it after a few months and start laying normal eggs again.

Yes, they appear healthy otherwise. Look up the article on The Poultry Site. It has pictures of all the weird shaped eggs caused by Egg Drop Syndrome with info on the virus.
