strange looking egg!!!

Looks like a potato...

I have one EE that tends to lay crinkled eggs. They are always the same color so I'm pretty sure it's the same one. Then another has a tendency to lay huge eggs. I've gotten 5 jumbo sized eggs (more than 70grams) in a week from her. You learn quickly when you have your own flock that not all eggs come out perfectly smooth and uniform like you see in the store.

Hello everyone. Ok, I am a bit worried here. Yea, one bad egg or strange egg, it happens. I once got a tiny egg, size of a marble....but...

I want to refer you to your feed store, the calendars put out by the Dept. of Agriculture cautions deformed eggs as a sign as illness. Just look into it so you are safe. These eggs look real bad in the callendar.

My white leghorn gives me LARGE white eggs with a "nipple" on the end... but today she gave me her first "shell-less" egg. She had been sick and hadn't laid in over a week.

On a regular basis, yes, it is very bad. Occasionally, it's a normal thing. Some just don't travel so smoothly down the oviduct. It's also partly genetic.

Not every deformed egg is a sign of illness. Especially if it's only in one chicken or in new layers. All new layers will produce deformed and odd shaped eggs and every chicken will produce the occasional odd egg. If it's all the chickens or happening a lot then I'd look at nutrition first and illness second.
