What did I just find in my egg?

[vmcdonald]

I found this egg out in the run today (very weird) after my BCM hadn’t layed the last two days (also weird) even though she was in the lay box a couple days ago. The egg, for the first time ever, had a very heavy bloom (she usually lays dark brown speckled eggs). It must be hers because my other chickens all lay blue and green, not brown. I cracked it open this evening and found this in the white, what the heck is it? Other piece of info that may be helpful is that the only cockerel in with these girls is only 14 weeks old. Help!

What does it feel like?

I'd say it's sloughing of the oviduct or a piece of follicle. Mark it up as a glitch. See if it continues.

What do you feed, including treats?

Unfortunately it’s in the bin so I can’t comment on feel. They’re all on grower pellets (we have a mixed age flock) and get the occasional scratch (small amount 1-2x per week), maybe some berries or lettuce etc if I have something laying around
