Hen owners, ever see a egg like this?

[addy1]

I got this egg out of a carton of eggs from Costco, brown organic eggs.
I have never seen one look like this, the poor hen!

send a pic to the organic company .They need to look into it .I have seen eggs that carried disease like that and spread them to other chickens .It was on a farm show here that is televised here in VA .The farm had to shut down and kill a lot of it's chickens .If it is the same could be a problem and not sure how the quality control let it pass .We have 2 big chicken farms here in the county I live in .

You could check through this list:

I see them every now and then from various retailers.
I think the only sure way of knowing if something is organic is if you grow/raise it yourself.

It looks like it could be some kind of "rubber egg" or shell-less egg.

Not necessarily, sometime it's just that a new hen's system has not fully matured!

Oh I have a ton of'em myself...I just wasn't sure it was ok to post them on this Forum!
I still don't know, but at least now I got someone to blame for starting first
