One of my gals laid this odd-looking egg... it looks soft but it’s not, it’s hard like normal, but it looks all crumply. Is this a problem or just a random odd egg?

I call it a "stress" egg. This can happen when a hen gets stressed for some reason. Too hot, chased by a predator, harassed by the rooster, could be anything. It could also mean the hen has reproductive issues, specifically the shell gland. I have a hen that lays these once a week.
