I found this egg this morning with weird veins. The veins almost appear to be on the outside. I'm not real sure what it means, if it means anything.

Those are cracks..The shell is weak...Feed layer pellets, oyster shell...Cut back on treats to 5% daily...About a tablespoon each hen is all the treats per day......
Cheers!

Looks too big for a pullet egg, unless maybe a double yolker.....
.......and cracks(not 'veins') are not necessarily from lack of calcium.
That egg cracked during the shelling process, it can happen once in a while.
I wouldn't worry about it unless it happens frequently, then a closer look at possible causes would be in order
Have you opened that egg yet? Was shell thin?
