sorry, can't see the pic.

I can't see your pic, but generally most shell deformities don't affect the egg at all. If the inside of it looks and smells OK I'd eat it.

Probably nothing is wrong. Maybe this will help you post a photo.

It is very common for eggs to have calcium deposits on the shell. These will show up as tiny lumps and bumps, or even the entire surface of the shell will be rough-feeling. In birds that lay brown eggs, pigment collects on these bumps, and show up like freckles.

It's all perfectly normal, and does not affect the egg in the slightest.

This is an egg laid last year by one of my girls. Truly grotesque, but all of her eggs since have been completely normal.

You can look through the egg shell defects section here to see if you can find a match for your eggs.
