Lopsided eggs with calcium deposits laid daily by one hen, whats going on here?

[Danny188]

I have a hen or possibly two that are laying lopsided eggs with calcium deposits on them. Its coming from one of my Buff Orpingtons, one looks cracked and mended thats the worst I have seen, I usaly get one of these a day they are always lopsided and always have calcium deposits. I cant remember if I have ever gotton two in a day like this, im wondering why its happening every day and whats going on. No problems like this in my other 20 hens. I know your going to get weird eggs like this but every day, there has to be somthing going on. We have been eating them and the inside looks like a normal egg.
Thanks for any help!

Yes its very interesting, I already looked at that though but thank you for replying. It says two percent of eggs are defective lol mine is quite a bit more than that and none of my other hens are laying eggs like this so it doesent seem like a stress issue. Thats why im so confused. Thanks again!

Could this issue posibly be a defective shell gland?
