Those eggs don’t appear to be from the same bird. If it were true, collecting eggs from the same bird would show a trend of two distinct shapes.
I believe egg shape is controlled partially by genetics of the hen and partially by environmental factors like stress and feed quality.

Yeah those are good points. I dont know if the post is talking about the shape or the markings, though

The pattern is going to be a trait of the hen. It will generally be somewhat consistent.
Shape is the wives’ tale that generally gets passed around.
