MOST UNUSUAL EGG EVER! Something wrong with my hen?

yeah no doubt it will be eaten....'waste not' is a common phrase thrown around here.

That's a "slab sided" egg - typically nothing to worry about, but it CAN be caused from illness - see here:

We've had several like that. It just happened occasionally. then we'd have several normal eggs. Ours were first year layers, and it decreased as they got things straightened out a bit more.

We had one like that recently - very bizarre. I couldn't wait to crack it open in the egg rotation...we finally used it last weekend, the shell was thin, broke easily, everything else about it was normal. We ate it.

It looks like it had some damage to the heat shield during re-entry.
