Your most peculiar egg?

[chick inn]

Hey- I thought it might be fun to have a thread where people post pictures of weird eggs they find. Be them super huge, super tiny, no yolk, double or triple yolk, strange shells, etc etc!! The more experienced byc'rs can help newbies trouble shoot if they'd like. Don't be shy- show off your surprises!! Here is mine to start: I've been finding a very bumpy blue egg in my coop on a regular basis, the other day I must have reached in before the bloom dried and all of the "rough spots" on the shell were easily sloughed off and were like tiny shell beads! My hens are only 1 year old and this is a more recent development. Here is a pic:

There is a thread on odd eggs, WEIRD or ODD Eggs pics!!!! , where members have been sharing their weird and wonderful finds. Those rough spots on your hen's egg are calcium deposits. They are caused by stress/disturbance during the calcification process, incorrect feeding and/or shell gland issues. See here for more egg oddities and causes:

Oh wow- thanks for finding that thread for me- I thought it was strange that there "wasn't" one already I'll have to subscribe to that! Any idea why she is the only one laying the irregularity out if 40 hens?
