One of ladies has been laying odd shaped eggs

we've had half a dozen or so now, and although I'm sure she is fine, I just wanted someone to check and reassure me 'cos they do look quite strange.

i had a few of these laid around the time when fireworks were going off all the time and when the snow was on the ground so i put it down to stress .

This is normal and happens from time to time and is due to and abnormal laying down of the shell when forming. Does not change what is inside the egg which is the important bit! As long as the feeding is stable and not feeding too many treats this should return to normal over a pariod of time.

One of my hens lays bumpy eggs now and again . The most stress she gets is if i`m 10 mins late with her supper.

thanks for that, I thought she was OK but just wanted to check.

Mine lay funny eggs at times, the other day i had one that was nearly square. Painful, but the chicken was ok carrying on as normal

That's from the special 'Oh Agh' bird - that lays square eggs LOL

We get the odd egg that is very wrinkly, they are normally very large eggs too.
