Small Hole and deformed egg shell

[danalw]

Hello,
I am new to keeping chickens and one of my little ladies just laid a deformed egg. The tip looks wrinkled and there is a small hole. Is this something that just randomly happens or is it some sort of calcium/ nutrition issue? The Barred Rock that laid it has also recently had an issue with pulling out a chunk of feathers. She does not have any skin irritation or mites. I thought it was due to the crazy heat wave we had so i bought a fan and I started giving them frozen veggies as well as fresh.

Very normal...Things will straighten out once she gets into the groove of laying eggs.

Make sure to provide oyster shells for strong egg shells. That looks like either a toenail hole or a peck hole. Hot weather and stress can cause brittle shells. What are you feeding them as far as ration? I prefer something with a high protein than layer, sometimes hens get deficient on it.

No..I was chatting with the OP on another thread and went back to read her older posts, and wanted to make sure she saw that article.
