In my experience you don't need to worry about one. Weird things happen. If you are seeing them consistently, that is when you want to get your detective hat on.

The article lists some causes for wrinkled and corrugated shells, you can look into them to be vigilant. Also, just watch your hens closely for any signs of illness or imbalance.
