Any chicken can potentially pop out an odd shaped egg. I've had some very long eggs, and some that were almost as round as a golf ball. Sometimes they even had lumpy ridges in them (not soft-shelled, just lumpy). And a coupe days ago, I had a HUGE double-yolker pop out.

It would help to know what breeds or mixes of breeds you have.
I have LF brahmas. Several of my hens lay pinkish eggs and from one hen I regularly get eggs shaped like that. We call them pullet bullets.

I'm not sure what kind they are.

Everybody here is right, you have nothing to worry about. Every hen lays a strange egg from time to time. It's perfectly normal.

I have one girl who always lays that shape- sometimes I really can't tell which side to face up to incubate until the air cell develops!!

wait until you get a reallllly weird shaped egg! I have one that makes amoebas.
