Has anyone seen this before?

Hi, new member here. Has anyone seen one of these eggs before? It looks like it broke inside the hen, then repaired itself before she laid it. This is the second time this hen has produced an egg like this. She is a 2.5 yr old Easter Egger who appears healthy along with the rest of her flock of 15. thanks in advance for any info!

I've never seen anything quite like that. Keep an eye on her. There may be problems with her reproductive tract.

Yikes, glad it repaired itself & not break in her. If this was the second time & she's 2.5yo I'd keep an eye on her, she may be starting reproductive issues. What color is the egg, looks white?

The only time I’ve had an egg like that was laid the day after a hawk attacked the chicken.

Normal inside the egg?

Looks like it got crushed just enough to crack the shell but the membrane held it together. Did you crack it yet? Send pictures when you do.
