I have 5 hens and 2 have started actively laying. I found a third egg in the coop today though that was really small, a little pointier, lighter in color, and kind of translucent with this tiny dots all over it. I know first eggs can be funky looking but I just wanted to make sure this didn’t signify a health problem or anything. I feed them layena and they always have fresh water available. Thoughts? Is this normal?

Odd eggs can be 'normal' when they first start laying.
The little dots are from shell porosity.
Hopefully things will smooth out and thicken up for that bird.
