Skinny long egg

[RebelFord81]

So one of my hens lays eggs like this on the regular. I'm not sure which one it is because no one lays in the same place every day. 6 nesting boxes and we choose to lay either in them, the middle of the ground, the poop board or the corner of the coop they're all about 17 months old if that makes a difference.

I have a hen like this, too! Her egg yolks are also very orange and delicious. I assumed it was normal.

Has she always laid those?
Have had a couple birds that laid 'torpedoes'.
Not really a problem, as long as the bird is acting OK.

Well I've only had her for about a month and it seems like I get one of these at least twice a week

Everyone is acting fine eating, drinking and active

Really hard to get 5 hens to sit the hell still but everyone's healthy and their combs are red

I have seen oblong eggs with some of my older hens when they were being obese.
