Strange egg from RIW

[krazycricket21]

I found this egg this morning and the only hen laying is a Rhode Island White. She is around a year old and has been very healthy.
They look like a whole bunch of mini eggs clustered together.
Any ideas?

If you give them a calcium supplement such as oyster shells free choice, she just got a little bit too much.. Nothing to worry about.. I have never given mine oyster shells but i do give them their own egg shells back to them and have never had a problem except for two soft shells from two new layers.. I just put the shells in the carton to dry out for a few days and when the carton is full, I put them in a coffee grinder until they are *almost* powder.. They don't realize it's egg shells so they don't turn into egg eaters... Just like oyster shell, I just make sure the container stays full...
