What do you make of this egg?

My RIR laid eggs like that too.

Sometimes she'd add speckles too.

I got a RIR that has layed some of those two tone ones some times,and another that lays eggs that are light brown with purple specks and spots on them. Some of the spots are big as human freckles. And another red that lays eggs that appear to have scratches in the shell.

I had a feeling that was the issue, but it just seemed so odd that it was clearly 1/2 and 1/2.

Does it point to a deficiency, or that she's getting plenty? My girls get nothing but organic lay pellets and free range, which includes lots of snails with crunchy shells.
