New layer, Isa Brown, weird insect-eggs on egg

[redwattle]

Hey everyone, Isa brown is laying on the ground, her other three friends lay in a laying box. This is the first egg like this I have seen. Anyone know what it is and if I need to worry? I live in Australia.
Thanks!!

I believe what you have there is a "pimpled egg."

The pimples are excess calcium deposits on the egg shell.

As long as they are only occasional you have no cause for concern.

There are no insects involved, woohoo!
