Hey guys so my smaller hen laid this egg and I’ve never seen one like this before it feels like glass almost when I tap it. She’s only 7 months old and has never had any issues. I give them oyster shell (in a separate dish) along with their regular food so I don’t think calcium is an issue. Also I don’t know if this matters but the inside was completely normal.

Here is another one of her eggs from yesterday to compare.

such things happen occasionally; I don't think it's anything to worry about unless it becomes commonplace, in which case further investigation might be advisable.
 
Had a couple girls(2yos) lay those all one winter, they had had mild respiratory issues.
Went away in spring, I chalked it up to stress from illness.
