Melted eggs

[deldeer]

Trying to find out what is going on with a couple of my eggs, they almost look like they melted and hardened back up (like plastic does). My ladies eat and drink well, I feed layer pellets, treats include pumpkins, cantaloupe, meal worms, they have separate grit and oyster shell available. The eggs taste fine, they are just kinda deformed sort of.

That is just a shell deformity. If I remember right, a couple reasons are new layers getting the hang of laying, or stress. The eggs are fine to eat. Common egg quality problems

One of my new layers does this also and they are all fine and healthy. I think there are a lot of "normal" shell deformities.
