Dear BYC folks:
One of my chickens laid this egg today. Any insight into what could have caused this? The deformity is at the tip. It's a little smaller than usual, and the deformity at the tip is hard calcium--it's not soft. Looks almost like a little swirl on top of the egg. No obvious health problems in the flock or disturbances, and these are layers in their second year with plenty of space.
