Super big goofy shaped eggs...

[mudhen]

Last couple of days I've noticed these really large eggs along with an increase of bullet, or torpedo shaped eggs.
The big eggs at first were just that, big! And I've had the occasional big egg before (usually double-yolkers), but never consistently three days in a row!
What is more, the last two days, the big eggs are a bit goofy shaped. Should I be concerned (for the hens, not the eggs)? The girls are about two years old, and I have seventeen breeds.

The three big eggs are 'X'ed in the picture above.
(The lonlely 'green'egg with calcium deposits is Cleo's, my EE, she has always laid thin shelled eggs with deposits like that).
Here's a better shot of the weirdo eggs:

We get those occasionally. Don't know what it means though.

I just another one like that yesterday. I would not worry about. Most young layers lay odd eggs till they work out all the kinks.

I have noticed calcium deposits on my EE's eggs, also. I wonder if that is something with the breed, my BR so far hasn't, or the cochins.

Do they have oyster shell free choice?

 

[mudhen]

They do, but they don't seem to eat it much.
I was beginning to think about putting a bit of it into their feed.
What do you think?

My BR sometimes lays an egg with a weird bulge/ring around the fattest part of the egg. I suspect it is somewhat normal? At least, I hope.

Those with a bulge in the middle could possibly be body-checked eggs. See the site below for some good reference pic's. on egg and shell quality if your interested. I have one pullet that layes those pretty regularly so am not positive what exactly is going on with her since she is the only one that regularly lays one.

As I understand it, sometimes if a hen is interupted in the laying, or farced to 'wait' or hold on to an egg, the muscle contraction can give the hardening shell an odd shape. So your hens have plenty of nest choices? Or do they all try to use the same nest?

I have 4 nest boxes, and several shelves, but my hens all try to lay in the same area each day. I wonder if one of your girls is doing a crosslegged dance while she waits for the 'privey' of her favorite nest?

Just speculating....
