I have no roosters and 5 hens. One of my hens (blue copper maran) lays delicious eggs, but on occasion she will lay an egg that has a "seedy" looking mass in the center of the yolk. I eat boiled eggs almost every day and I get one of these eggs once every other week. The smell is awful and I want to try and find out what this is.... I have tried to research it on the web, but havent had any luck. Hoping someone here knows what it is....

Thanks for any replies!
 
Would that be a Lash egg? Ive never seen them and hope I never do!, just heard about them.

Do you always boil the eggs?
Hard boiled?
Have you ever seen it in a raw egg?

Need to take a pic and post it here....I've never heard of anything like what yo are describing.
 
Yes, I normally boil them. Found one today that prompted me to post this thread. The "seed" looking mass is always located in the center of the yolk and has a round end and a pointed end, neutral color. It's solid and feels like a piece of wood, but not rock hard. Next time I find one I will take a picture.

Thanks,
