It is normal for a first egg.
You still might want to give them some more calcium though, shell grit/oyster shell. just in case.

Mine have been laying for about a week now. We got an egg that looks a little odd. The shell is not smooth all around. It actually looks layered like ridges around it. Is that normal?

x2. It takes a while for a bird's 'laying mechanism' to get working properly and all in the right order. Prepare to find tiny eggs, eggs with no yolk, very pointy eggs, soft shelled eggs, and maybe even weird pink lumps that don't look anything like an egg at all! It'll settle down quite quickly and they should be popping out more uniformly shaped eggs quite soon after they start laying steadily. But like Guinea says, some additional oyster shell for them might be a good idea, just in case they need it.
