Very weird looking egg!

[Yay Chicks!]

I posted this to another thread about my girls eating a shell-less egg. Within the hour of my BR laying the shell-less egg, she laid this thing (She's been laying beautiful eggs for weeks - she's 26 weeks old):

they need some oyster shells its just soft shelled also you can give them their egg shells crushed up to.

Pretty cool. I'd blow that out and save it.

I know! It does look like some kind of cushion!

Chickenbottom, thank you, but this is just a weird blip. She gets layer feed, oyster shell and crushed egg shell (plus greens, yogurt etc.).

One of my chickens produced an egg like that for me too. Mine had a hard shell but was wrinkled up, just like yours. She also would lay soft ones sometimes. She has stopped laying wierd eggs now and lays nice large normal eggs almost every day.

Whoa!! That's really weird looking!

Had one of those in my very first flock, I was pretty disappointed, until I realized it wasn't so unusual for a first.

Who said that it looked like a mini air bag..too funny!

And someone else said a pin cushion..best not use for one...not sure what would come out of that!

Sometimes a hard landing a few days before can cause strangely shaped eggs. I thinks its pretty cool looking!
