My pullets have (mostly) all started laying within the last three weeks. So far, they have all laid pretty "normal" eggs. Small, but normal shape, good shell thickness, smooth, and great looking yolks. We did even get a double yolk once. Yesterday afternoon, I did find the below egg. Not super odd, but I have never seen a shape like this and there were some "ridges". Any cause for concern?



 
Nope, everything is probably fine. Just a hitch in the assembly line. As long as they are getting a good diet, plenty of fresh water, and maybe some oyster shell free choice, you should be good. I have a Buff Orpington who has given me nothing but "torpedos" since she started laying last year.
