Weird looking egg shell???

[burgandyrae]

This is the weirdest egg I've ever seen. Does anyone know why it looks like this?

I had a guinea hen that laid eggs that looked exactly like that. I always just thought that was the type of egg. It could be a very porous egg too

There are many little glitches that happen 'normally'.
Looks like it could be porous, or just a funky coating or bloom pattern.
Knowing more about your birds, how old, how long laying... etcetcetc....would allow someone to give you a decent answer as to why.

I have ISA Browns that are almost 23 weeks old and 2 Australorps that are 19 weeks old. One of Browns has been laying since she was 19 weeks old and another one just started the other day. I'm not sure if this egg was out of one of those 2 or if it was one of the other 4. They usually lay beautiful light brown eggs (in the morning!) but last night when I closed up the coop I found 2 eggs and this was one of them.

Probably just a new layer glitch...I wouldn't worry about it.

Apparently I have a third layer and she's the one that made this weird egg. She laid another one today! Lol
