Hey guys, today my Rhode Island Red who was a little bit sick yesterday layed her egg. It is very weird looking. If you have an explanation for this please tell me.

What does this mean?
End of egg looks malformed(dark spot), was it brittle there?

White stuff could be excess calcium or excess bloom.
'Speckled' eggs can happen for several different reasons...very few, if any, of which are a 'problem'.
Can be caused by:
Excess or uneven pigment coating.
Excess or uneven cuticle(bloom).
Excess calcium deposits.
Porous eggs can appear speckled.
Some birds lay them consistently, some only once in awhile.
The pigment or bloom can change appearance when wet, then change back when dry again.

As long as bird is getting a good diet and is healthy in every other way, it is no cause for concern.
