Slight ridges in shell

[heiditam]

A few of my girls lay eggs with slight vertical ridges. You can barely feel them and only see them in good light. I got one today that is more obvious so i snapped a pic. This seems to happen after cold snaps, so I pondered if lack of water causes this(I break the ice up often but freezing water does limit them more). There has been some stress due to noise(clearing a wood pile near coop). These girls are from mcmurray, lay daily, and no one is sick. Should I be worried or is this a common egg issue on occasion? Any advice?

This is not an unusual egg defect. The eggs are fine to eat, and there really isnt anything you can do about it, anyway. See here:
