Odd looking egg with odd looking patches

[Janet wallace]

Friends
One of my chickens is only laying every three/four days. This latest egg has flaws and a lump on one side. She is healthy looking, and eating just fine. Her egg whites are runnier than the other chickens -eggs. Any thoughts/ideas
Thank you

https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/common-egg-quality-problems.65923/ This was a good read and talks about those types of eggs. I will say, in my three oldest egg layers, they occasionally lay odd shaped eggs, not quite to that extent though, and they seem healthy.

Yes, I was going to ask if this is an older bird, between the 3-4 day cycle and the runnier whites.

This bird is in her first year of laying

What exactly and how are you feeding?
Only the one bird laying like this...what breed is she?
How long has she been laying?

Thank you for your reply.
She has been laying since about March. We have three chickens all the same age and the other two are laying normal eggs. She laid an egg yesterday that looked more of a normal shape and comparable in size to the other chickens eggs. We are feeding them pelleted chicken food from Tractor Supply and I let them out of their chicken tractor to forage most evenings.

What kind exactly...brand and formulation and/or protein and calcium percentages?
What breed is she?
What's their housing like?
Dimensions and pics of coop and run might help here.

Could be she has a wonky shell gland, could be she's stressed.
