Crazy speckled egg

[Wolfefarmyard]

Hello, I have never seen an egg like this so I thought that I'd share it. Once in a while we will get a few slightly speckled eggs. But this one is just so cool looking. It came from our black bantam Cochin named Willow. I love how the speckles are bright white creating such a unique contrast. Here's some pictures of it

That's cool!
Have you thought about trying to empty the shell out and keep it? People do it all the time.

I've done that before with some eggs to do a presentation about chickens at my kid's school. But I didn't even think about it with this egg. I think that I might do that. Thank you!!!

unusual egg for sure

Those are calcium deposits. I've had quite a few of those eggs.

Yes, calcium deposits. I've gotten them also. Does it mean they are overdoing it with the oyster shell? I haven't worried about them because it seems to only happen occasionally. And certainly seems less of an issue than the opposite problem of thin-shelled eggs.
