    it isn't normal that is or sure. I can't give advice on what to do though because of all the things i have seen happen to eggs, i have never seen that. I think you have new condition and i am going to name it Lego Eggs.

    Whats your humidity at??
    Looks like they are drying out.
    Candle and make sure they are still alive, how many days are they?
    IF they are at day 55 or more I would cut those for sure.

    Possibly a sign of a genetic defect or chromosomal abnormality? I have never seen this before but hope for the best. Good luck with these eggs.

    Not all eggs look smooth and pearly white and it does not mean there is always an issue with them, that is of course if you have perfect humidity.

    I have had this type of "bumpy" eggs just like this in the past hatching fine.

    Now the question is do they candle ok? and what is your humidity?

    To me unless there is an issue with humidity it looks like a calcification issue.

    I used to have a female that laid eggs like that. Just make sure your humidity is okay and you should be fine. I normally don't cut eggs but you may want to keep an eye on those near the end. Eggs like that tend to not soften up at the end like typical eggs. You may want to consider cutting those if they don't soften.

    They candle fine yes and 85% I can't seem too get it any higher even adding more water putting a bowl of water inside the incubator if you have any tips that will increase it
