Is the shell thick?

I'm not sure as I haven't cracked it yet, but guessing so. Hoping for a double yolk. I'd already have your answer, but she wanted chia pudding with pumpkin seeds and strawberries this morning - so I'll find out tomorrow.

Know which bird did it?
'Wrinkled' egg?
I have seen a few of them occasionally with my 'old' hens, but one of the adult hens I bought recently is consistently laying 'wrinkled' eggs. Does anyone know how this happens? I'll post a picture if it's not clear what I mean.

No, not sure which one is responsible. I do feed them oyster shells to keep the shells harder. The yolks are getting more orange vs yellow now that grass and bugs are available to them.Know which bird did it?

I used to save the shells from the eggs I used. Would throw them back to the chickens with the other veggie scraps from the kitchen.
Yeah you can tell when the bugs come out. The eggs get better. That is a great site lots of good knowledge there.

I'm apprehensive to feed them their own shells as I assumed they'd start eating their own eggs. A couple if golf balls exist in the coke box/nest to deter that behavior. I have broken an egg or two while gathering them and the hens quickly devour the broken embryo - cannibals!

They start eating the eggs if they need the nutrients......or it breaks. I've never heard of the golf ball trick for that.....but people do put them in the nesting box to train the hens where to lay.
I remember my grandparents whom kept 3 dozen or so had wooden eggs for that purpose.

Without using a vernier caliper, I'd say the shell wasn't any thicker than the others but the egg did have a double yolk. Odd how the two yolks stuck together in the bowl like twins. Added a couple tablespoons of salsa to the mixture, along with some garlic seasoning, scrambled, and served with bacon, multigrain toast, crunchy PB and creamed buckwheat honey. Only thing missing was an avocado.
