Egg deformities - stress?

[car0]

This is the second time I’ve found one like this. We had six sex link hens and avg 4 eggs a day. On the days I found an egg like this we received 5 eggs. Since finding this egg I’ve watching closely for bullying and have put two offenders in jail.

Could this egg deformity be caused by the stress of being picked on? Thanks for your input!

Welcome!
So many choices! Any stress, weather, difficulties with the 'egg production apparatus' in one of the hens, systemic illnesses, and this may resolve, or not.

Thanks for your reply! I cracked the egg open and it seemed normal inside. You think it’s okay to eat? Should have taken a photo...

As long as there's no crack in the shells, they should be fine to eat.
