Rough Eggs Shells

[user634184]

One of my chickens has been laying rough shelled eggs, they feel like sandpaper or like they were in a fire or something. Is this normal, she doesn’t lay many eggs anymore, and when she does they’re like this?

It looks like a white banded egg and calcium deposits. Here is a good link about those and other egg problems:

I’ve got a few new laying hens that are laying eggs with that whitish calcium coating. Are they still edible despite looking odd? Some of them have such a thick coating that when I wash them they change color. I sell fresh eggs and I want to make sure they’re safe
