Malformed Red Foot Eggs

My girl as laid 23 non viable eggs since last February and usually has a few oblong or kidney shaped eggs in each clutch. Her first ever laying was last year in February 2018 by the way.
Anyone see this so regularly?
I know a lot of first time layers have odd shaped eggs but she's done this consistently for each clutch. I wish there was a stud service somewhere local Ha

They almost look like two that are fused together. Twins.
All of my RF eggs have been almost entirely round.
Those are very odd.

Make sure she has plenty of access to calcium. I had one that laid empty eggs and just the yolks with no shell, a lot of her eggs broke on laying and some shells were soft.
It went on for quite some time. Couple of yrs maybe. This year she has laid perfect eggs every time. I offer plenty of calcium. So thinking that must have helped. I’ve had her nearly 3yrs now.

My last batch of eggs had about 15 "normal" eggs and 4 that were impossible tiny.
Only the tiny ones hatched.
You never know.
