This is probably a pimpled egg. Those are likely just calcium nodules stuck to the end of the egg. It can indicate an old chicken, or a dietary issue with malnutrition or mineral imbalance. Our chickens eat an excellent feed of whole grains produced by a local mill. It includes calcium and mineral supplements so in our case, where this only happened once, we chalk it up to an older bird doing something weird.
Looks painful coming out. I’ve seen that on our chickens before, looks like too much calcium maybe?

Right, I do recall some weird anomalies with our eggs once our chickens were getting old. Good info!
