What kind of hens do you have?  Could it just be a normal egg for that type of hen? I have Speckledies that lay Speckled eggs - cream with brown spots.  Alternatively, it could just be calcium deposits I think and nothing to worry about.  Eggs do have a tendancy to come in strange shapes and colours every now and again.  I'm sure someone with more experience will give you a more difinitive answer.
