Probably from old hens. When our hens aged out this winter they started laying strange eggs, but nothing as extreme as that. They looked like a couple of the lighter colored, somewhat bumpy eggs in the carton in your picture. Shells were often thin or non-existent. Some eggs had the yolk stuck to the shell and the white was like water. For the last couple of months we had them I started breaking the eggs in a glass bowl to get a look at them before I committed them to the skillet. I would at least adopt that practice if you are getting eggs like the three questionable ones I see.
We're not sure how old they were, probably 5 or 6.
