weird eggs

[Speed]

I got 2 weird eggs today. The shell on 1 is kinda translucent and soft and the other isn't the normal oval shape, it's tall and skinny with no point and has a flat spot on the side. These came from 2 different hens, the first egg described came from a hen that's 1.5 years old and the other egg came from a 20 week old. Any ideas. It's been super hot weather in the 90's this week if that might help.

Heat can cause this. They drink more so they eat less.

Here are some sites on weird and funky eggs that I thought might be of interest. .
