What happened to this egg??

Any idea what happened to this egg?

Slab-sided egg. (One of many I’ve seen on BYC today.)

It occurs when two eggs are released into the shell gland, and the interruption causes the second egg to be damaged slightly in the area that they made contact.

Don’t worry, it’ll still make great breakfast

How old or young us the bird that laid this?

I know it says that in this article:

But its more likely to be a disease and/or shell gland malfunction.

I Believe OP has multiple threads about this issue and a respiratory illness. Which I saw after I posted here.

Interesting. I learned it the other way.

A specific disease?

I’m still learning some, too, so I don’t mind corrections. If I ever post anything incorrect, call me out!
