I found this page while trying to research a cause for the wrinkled eggs that one of our chickens has been producing. We have about 30 chickens and only one has been laying the wrinkled eggs. Do you know what causes it and whether it is bad for the hen in any way?

I pity the poor hen who lays this egg with such a rough surface. Seems like it would be painful to expel. Interesting specimen.

Hi Golda, I have kept chickens a few years ago and a couple of things you could try- is make sure she is getting small pea sized gravel as they need this grit to aid digestion,they use it to grind up in their gizzard other food,possibly low in calcium-cauliflower is a good sorce of this even the stalks would be suitable.Hope this helps,

regards Vince

We eat them all the time.The shells are bit thin,but the egg itself is just fine.

Hi Golda,- was wondering the same thing, about whether the eggs from that hen taste and look the same "inside" as normal eggs. Is the shell hard like they usually are? We had a hen canary years ago, who was laying shell-less eggs. Took her to the local vet, and she had to be put down. He said it was dangerous to her to have this happening, and that she'd eventually die from it.

Interesting looking egg. Have you eaten one of the wrinkled ones yet?
