Weird shape, flattened & wrinkled eggs

[Bobby Dag]

This is the third day we are getting these eggs. We have 6 chickens about two years old.
Not sure what kind of chickens so here’s a photo oh my granddaughter taking care of them.

Hi there and welcome to BYC!

See the following article for some helpful information..

https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/common-egg-quality-problems.65923/

Where are you located? Any recent sneezing noticed or other changes? Avian influenza has been reported in the US recently and infectious bronchitis as well as previous new castle's outbreak and such.

Any sign of predator visits midnight or other possible disturbances? Sudden changes in artificial lighting period? Just coming into or out of molting? How many of those type eggs per day? is it every one of them? is there any change on the inside or to the the strength of the shell. Is there a rooster in the mix?

Try not to jump to conclusions or be scared by possibilities. Chickens are resilient little creatures and there are MANY simple reproductive system hiccups that can resemble disease.

They look like possible red sex link type chickens to me. Red star, cinnamon queen, red comet, etc, there are many names. Some have been known to face reproductive issues earlier in life (2 ish years) simply due to the high laying frequency. Two years is a young bird to me, but genetics do matter so it might be a factor,

Hopefully everyone is well!

Beautiful family photo!

Thank you, the link answered a lot of the questions. So we will be off to Tractor supply this week.

Where are you located? Valley View, Ohio

Any recent sneezing noticed or other changes? Not that I noticed but the we have gone from blizzards to 60 degrees in 24 hours quite a few times this winter. Lots of mud in run and the yard is real swampy.

Any sign of predator visits midnight or other possible disturbances? We have motion lights and cameras and have not had anything hang around this winter.

Sudden changes in artificial lighting period? With the crazy temperature swings the heat lamp is a thermo plug so night lighting varied.

Just coming into or out of molting? Not really.

How many of those type eggs per day? It's been one for the the past four days.

is it every one of them? No, we have been getting 4 or5 out of the 6 chickens we have. can't figure out which one is not laying.

is there any change on the inside or to the the strength of the shell. The shells in the photos are very thin. no other problems with the other ones.

Is there a rooster in the mix? No

Thank you again.

Good questions and answers.
Sounds like you have one bird with a wonky shell gland.

They could all be laying, not that common for all to lay every day.
