Hello everyone! My girls recently started laying and I have been enjoying their eggs. :) I noticed the ones my barred Rock has layed have little white specks/bumps (when I look closely they seem raised) Is it an issue?
Or is it normal if they just started laying?

Can be 'normal' at any time...could also be getting more calcium than she needs.
Are you feeding layer feed?

'Speckled' eggs can happen for several different reasons...very few, if any, of which are a 'problem'.
Can be caused by:
Excess or uneven pigment coating.
Excess or uneven cuticle(bloom).
Excess calcium deposits.
Porous eggs can appear speckled.
Some birds lay them consistently, some only once in awhile.
The pigment or bloom can change appearance when wet, then change back when dry again.

As long as bird is getting a good diet and is healthy in every other way, it is no cause for concern.
