Found a white mass that feels hard on the surface of the yolk on the opposite side of the fertilized spot

It's probably chalazae Harmless and edible.

Other things that could be a white mass on an egg (rarer) include calcium deposits, worming drugs, and anticoccidial drugs.

Looks like it could be lash material(infection).
You'd need to remove and dissect it further to be sure.

Never heard of these?

Sounded rare like I said, but one place I read it was here and another here:

I didn’t even think about the worming medication I just started them on that’s probably it. Thank you

Hopefully, that's all it was and it'll stop showing up. It is amazing how things we put in our chickens show up in the eggs. I've heard of one person who gives their chickens so much garlic that the eggs taste like garlic.
