Crumpled egg and rough texture?

[Kitcathkat]

Not sure what is going on here, my hens are just newly beginning layers, but this is the first I’ve noticed it. I’ve had two eggs like this in the coop on the floor of it. The shell is hard to it and membrane is uniform and holds well together as shown, no evidence of yoke or whites left over.

I also had an egg laid that isn’t like the usual ones from another hen it isn’t shinny and smooth like usual, but dull and rough in texture? (I truly believe is is my same Egger that laid the two side by side)

*** I offer free choice oyster shell, feed layena omega, my birds are free range.

Blue is fine, maybe you need to set out some grit though. New layers otfen have weird eggs. Also your egger lays only blue or brown or olive, not all three.

The broken one could have broken on the floor and your hens ate it.

Do you have oyster shell set out as free choice?

I have a black copper Maran laying the dark brown. I have olive Eggers and a cream leg bar, but I swear the one that lays the olive eggs is the one that laid the blue too.

Yes. I have free choice oyster shell set out and feed the layena omega.

That's because Olive eggs have a blue shell, sometimes the brown coating doesn't get applied(spray booth malfunction).

I agree, especially with new layers.
