I found this extremely deformed egg in my nesting box. It has a really thick shell. Don’t see any yolk, just whites leaking out. Causes? Should I be concerned? Is there a term for this? Also, the yellow on it is pine shavings. Thanks!

Thanks so much 😢 idk which chicken laid it…
Keep an eye on all your ladies carefully, and try to see if anyone is looking sickly in any way. Whichever hen laid it needs help, but they can survive it. Most hens who start producing lash eggs go on to stop laying if they survive unfortunately though. I have a lash egg survivor myself, she had issues at 1.5 years old, stopped laying consistently at 2, but is now 5 and still kicking. She lays about 5 eggs a year, some shell-less and the others are not well-shaped or formed. But she's alive and happy to be a chicken!
