Strange eggs

[Gr8bawana]

Have any of you guys that have chicken ever seen these little bumps on the outside of the shell?
We have 4 chickens and I think only one of them is laying these eggs. They look completely normal inside and they taste like any other egg.
Just curious as to what might be causing this.

I was always told that’s excess calcium in their diet

 

[Gr8bawana]

It could be true but I would think since all the chickens are eating the same thing more than one would lay eggs like this.

Are they laying less often? More time in the vent could be leading to more calcium deposits.

I have one chicken that has roughness on one end but nothing that severe.

extra calcium, nothing to worry about

We have 4 chickens and we're getting 3-4 eggs every day. I guess it's nothing to worry about.

Maybe one of your chickens is a greedy asshole?

The chickens we have had def had a leader. And that one always ate first...

I have a turkey hen that lays eggs with similar calcium growths, except they are scattered all over the shell.

Ask the chicken if it burns when she goes pee

Extra calcium

I believe it's extra calcium as others have noted.

Also as hens age their eggs get larger. Their eggs also will often be less uniform is shape and the shells get thinner. That's about the extent of my poultry egg knowledge.

Well I hope it's not a "he" chicken but they just turned a year old in May.

How dare you assume that chickens identity and orientation. Next thing you know you'll be shooting bulls and bucks that identify as cows and does.

Looks like some rusted and painted over body work I have seen
