All eggs are a pain to peel if they are not kept as long as supermarkets keep them before boiling.

We used to get 9 eggs a day from 8 quail
4 eggs equal one hens egg. They are supposed to be more nutritious from what I recall reading before we bought them.
A pain to peel hard boiled ones but they poach and fry in seconds and cook well in cakes. Great on pizzas too!
My wrinkly egg layer is still laying 2 eggs a week. All the rest have stopped.

Try quails.
They lay several little eggs every day. We sometimes visit a mate who has a couple of quails and we end up with loads of eggs to take home.

Had one of my Black rocks lay an egg not much bigger than a marble yesterday. All the rest are normal.
Wish i could get some hens that laid pullet sized eggs all the time.

Yup...Old age. We only get one a week max from each of those oldies but for some reason the wrinkly one s appeared 2 days apart.
The Marans are unusual in that they coat their eggs as the last bit of processing ,so , when freshly laid , you can smudge the colour off them.

Dinosaur eggs, as kids call them. Wish I could get some from mine but they’re only a few years old so I might have a bit of a wait

I'd say old age. The 'paint-spraying' process is a bit erratic at first and towards the end. And as chickens age, their whites become waterier, making it more difficult for the shell to form in its usual manner.
The pigment process is fascinating. Here's an intro: https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/why_ar...fferent_colors

Very strange looking! Is there some kind of food deficiency, or is that old age in hens?
