First funky egg question

[FrankHomestead]

My pullets JUST started laying, this is my 13th egg from 6 Isa Browns. They've all varied in size, darkness and speckles, which i expected. But this one had what looked like a spot of brown wiped off when i collected it! I took it inside, washed it, rubbing it firmly to get the dirt/manure off and more of the darkness rubbed off! I'm assuming this MAY be normal esp in new layers, i would just like to understand why!?

Hi! Not to worry my isa brown lays eggs that have the same patches and streaks. It's not a breed specific thing...but for whatever reason it happens with my gal too. May be a calcium issue. The egg inside is good to go, treat it like a regular ol egg.
ETA my girl is a young layer, 21 weeks old and just started laying. Maybe it takes a while to get the paint shop up & running

normal, their bodys are figuring out how to lay.. lots of weird looking eggs, eggs w/just whites and double yolked eggs too

I have Black Copper Marans, very dark eggs. The color is applied as the egg is laid so it can be rubbed off. I don't know about Isa Browns but this happens all the time with BCM.

I believe (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) that the bloom is being rubbed off. I've picked up a freshly laid egg (literally laid a second ago) before it dried and let the bloom "set". Again this is just from my experience and observations.

It is wet. I had to wash it off it was covered in sand.

It is exceptionally dark but they do have a nice sheen.
