What are those fine grain like thing on chicken egg?

Well, a 'glitch' is an infrequent, or single event, malfunction....
....in this case happening in the shelling gland, or uterus, of the chicken.

So the big bump, circled in red, has always been on her eggs?
But the groups of tiny bumps are new?
Both of these are something odd about how she processes and apples the calcium she ingests. Probably nothing to worry about as long as she is otherwise eating/drinking/popping and moving around OK.
If she's the only one laying these then it's just her problem and not the diet of the flock.

Yes most times her eggs have a bump like the one that is circled. The rest of flock does not have that bump. She eats well and is good otherwise. For the last two days I have been putting a bit of apple cider vinegar in their water, and today her egg came out without the bump or grainy thing. I have no idea if the AVC did something good in her or not, but the egg is perfect today. I decide to put AVC in their water from now on at least 3 times a week. I put a tablespoon to a gallon on water.
 
My flock lays eggs like that too, probably just extra lack of calcium during egg formation. I have never had bumps on my hens eggs when I was originally feeding them grower feed, then I started them on layer feed a couple weeks after they first started laying then I noticed the bumps soon after. Layer feed does contain a lot more of calcium.
 
It’s just the way she developes her eggs. I get different variations of the “perfect” shaped eggs from time to time especially in the summer. My best layer has a cycle she goes through her eggs get a bit smaller (just a bit) and smaller before she takes a day off. Then her first on after her day of is huge and the calcium deposit of the egg is rough. I don’t get worried about it, it’s just her and her cycle.
 
All of your replys and suggestions have really help, and I know now not to worry about it because other wise she is well. Thank you :)
