First, I'm sorry if this is under the wrong section. It seemed the most relevant, although this is in no way an emergency. I'm wondering if this has to do with a past injury?

Anyway, I have a sweet Leghorn hen who lays eggs like this almost everyday. The shells are not smooth, & they are warped. What causes this?

Background: I got her (& a few other hens) from someone on Craigslist a few years ago. This leghorn in particular was pretty rough when I brought her home. She has a very big, floppy comb but there was no life to it, it just lay flat against the side of her face, & she didn't have a tail. Her comb has since plumped up & she re-grew a tail after molting. She is a completely different (& spunky!) hen these days! Are her weird eggs from some past internal injury type thing, or is something wrong right now?
