1 of my chickens, who lays a egg daily in the nesting box & until now, has always had normal eggs, layed this egg today. Just the top was very thin & looked powdery. Plz let me know what you think. I'd appreciate it.

I also got this egg a couple days ago. I've had some broken 1s in the past, but this 1 was oddly broken

The first photo is an off white egg correct? How old is the hen that laid that? It may be a one time glitch so I would keep watch to see if it continues to happen. Do you provide oyster shell free choice?

Second egg...could have been pecked open by one of your chickens. Hard to know. Collect your eggs as soon as they are laid to see if that helps.

Thank you. Ya, it's a off white color. We do provide oyster shell, although we are currently out right now. My hens are about 10 months old.
& 2nd egg, that was my thought as well. I've just never had 1 with just the top broken
