odd eggs and yucky yolk

[hennanny]

soo we have had one (we think it's only one) lay an odd egg from time to time in the last couple of weeks. All hens are Buffs,no rooster, no change in diet except the cicadas have been thick so they get one IF it flies into their run. Anyway the yolk is yucky and the shell is not smooth and almost white..ideas? We did have one we thought was broody so we got some fertalized eggs from a nbr but she lost interest in a few days....here are some pics

Wrinkled shells I've read can be from a mild respiratory infection. I've had yolks like that on occasion. I don't know what causes it. What they eat can affect the eggs, so perhaps those cicadas have something to do with it. Not really anything you can do unless you know which hen is laying them. If you do you can check her over for any signs of illness. I would assume eventually it will straighten out.
