One of my hens keeps laying these eggs that have a ripple almost in them. I had another hen who was egg bound and needed assistance and the egg she finally passed had same sort of ripple. Like a pressure indentation of sorts. But I haven’t noticed anything strange about the behavior of the hen that keeps laying these eggs? Are they hurting her? Is there something I can do? Excuse the dirt under my nails, I’m spring cleaning our coop and found another one of hers like this

Thank you! Explains a lot I didn't know. I still wonder why she's doing on a consistent basis. Need to watch her in the evenings to see if she's having any problems with the others that could be causing her stress to crack it?
No problem! Monitoring her might help you identify the problem.
