Apoligies if this isnt the right thread, it was the best fitting one i could find. Was going to get the eggs and saw this one. its hard like a regualr egg but weird shaped/textured. my mom threw it away before i got the chance to open it. I feel like its probably nothkng but I wanna make sure

Hi, and welcome to BYC!

Here's an article a member wrote that covers all the strange things that can happen to eggs our chickens lay.

Yours looks like #13, corrugated shell

One of the possible causes is diet deficiencies, which shouldn't happen if you have them on a good layer or all-flock, and a side of oyster shell in a separate dish, and not too many treats.

I've seen one egg similar, and I never got another, so I just ignored it.

Weird eggs are really pretty normal and generally come and go. No need to do anything.
