Strange egg masses on egg?

[Michele23]

Found this on one of our eggs this morning. What could it be?

Probably just calcium deposits. Does it scratch off?

It looks like calcium deposits. It happens occasionally. I wouldn't be too concerned unless it becomes a consistent issue.

Yes. They scratch off.

I have a hen who always lays eggs with calcium deposits on the top and bottom. She’s fine tho.
