So my girl's egg....

[hlauren1015]

...looks like this. I've seen the random hard 'sprinkles' (what my kids call them) on my hens eggs but my year old girl just laid this one, like I watched her drop it, and it had these bumps in a cluster. They look like bug eggs! But they're hard and won't scrape off. I've never had any issues with her eggs and she's eating and acting normal (as can be, it is hot in southeast tn right now but she does a good job at keeping cool and never looks overheated). Should I be concerned? TIA

Update here, I did scratch it off and this is what it looks like now, but the little specks were all hard.

That's calcium deposits.

That's calcium deposits.

Yep, completely normal.

x3, just calcium deposits. Don't scrape them off (the shell can sometimes be thin under those spots), just use the egg as you normally would.
