First egg shell question

[Pollo loca]

Hi there! Our 4 month old Rhode Island hens have all started laying! We're so excited. Today I got this egg. Should I be worried?

How pretty!

My in-town flock included a Black Langshan that always laid pixelated eggs.

Is the white the coloring of the egg or is it calcium build up?

Should be perfectly fine to eat. Think of it as being like a printer cartridge glitching or misfiring.

I took it inside and tried wiping it down with a damp cloth. It mostly came off. Does that mean it's bloom?

Their system is just sorting itself out. No problems and their perfectly fine to eat.

Yes, most likely.....that's what I thought it looked like.
Nothing to worry about.
It may not happen again, or that bird may always have a heavy bloom.
