Strange Egg

The shell is hard. Looks like it is shell-less. What happened?

How old is the chicken that laid it, and do they have free choice oyster shell?

Looks like a soft shelled egg. They are soft coming out and sometimes harden up but are still more brittle then normal. Usually means they need more calcium.

I had an egg that looked like that... even more wrinkly. I researched it and it said one of the chickens could have a bronchial infection... it’s still ok to eat tho... lasted about 2 months and now all my eggs are normal... you can also research wrinkly shell and things will come up.. I don’t think it’s anything to worry about thou... all my chickens are still healthy

Thanks. There are oyster shells in each coop. I also give them egg shells whenever I make boiled eggs.

If the shell is hard, how can it be shell-less <scratcheshead>
That is what is called a 'slab sided' egg.
Could be a one time glitch, or a malfunctioning shell gland, or a disease.

You can even crush up their eggs shells and feed it back to them to help with calcium to.
