What's wrong with this egg??

[Rachel Hanlon]

This morning I went to let my hens out to free range and I checked the nesting box area to see a egg that was not in a shell. So far only one of my 3 had started laying but she's an afternoon layer. This could be one of the others eggs. Should I be concerned?

If she is new to laying give her a couple days and see how things go.

Agreed. It's an oops! You can get some really weird eggs, especially at startup.

 

[Ol Grey Mare]

Not a concern, they happen now and then, it could have been any one of the birds that produced it

Agree with the other posters...this happens sometimes, especially with youngsters.

There's an interesting article on eggs you might like to read. I've referred to this one several times:
