Two weird eggs today

[Queenofchicks]

So I know free layers lay weird eggs, and it’s been kinda hot here…. But today I got two weird eggs. One was a bullet egg that was wrinkled, and I’m pretty sure it was her first egg so I’m not too concerned. But than my buff Orpington laid a weird lumpy egg that looked like it hadn’t hardened all the way. Both shells aren’t strong though. They have oyster shells, and egg shells, is it just heat stress you think?

How old are they?

How old are they?

I have 20-22 week old chickens. I got them around March 14th and than the blue egg layer on March 26th.

That makes them brand new layers. I'd blame the wonky eggs on that

Okay! How long are chickens considered new layers? I’m a newbie

There's not really a set time, but considering yours are 22 weeks they can only have been laying for a month at most.

I just got 2 weird ones today, like the one on the right in your pictures. My girls are over a year old, eat oyster shell & the eggs are strong so I'm curious about this too! We did just have a couple hot then rainy/flooded days this week so I'm thinking stress?
