Deformed egg? :/

[LittleMoon]

I found a weird shaped egg. I actually have been finding them every couple weeks. Its sort of curvy to one side and more oval than a normal egg. if i let it incubate would it hatch a deformed chick?

You'll have that from time to time with hens, especially newly laying hens. I wouldn't allow it to hatch because you're asking for a problem. Rule of thumb is to hatch only nicely formed eggs. You don't want eggs that are too small or too large, or long, skinny eggs.....

The egg might be irregular inside too, or it could be perfectly normal inside, but if the shell is weird, then it could affect the growth of the embryo inside the egg.
