Sounds like calcium deposits. It won't harm the egg. Chickens tend to lay odd eggs when they are first starting to lAy; hopefullY this will straighten itself out iN a few weeks.

This link should help if you ever get one consistently laying "funny" eggs:

from Alabama. Glad you joined us. We get those deposits on our eggs every so often, too, & it's perfectly fine to go ahead & eat them

Sounds like calcium deposits to me as well. I will say that they don't always clear up. I have one that lays them with deposits more often than not. But, it doesn't hurt the egg at all.

from the Finger Lakes of New York! Totally agree. First eggs can be very odd indeed.
