    New layer, worm inside egg?

    I have 6 pullets, 5 are laying, one laid an egg in the box today that had no shell, only a membrane. I broke it in the sink and it had what appears to be a worm inside. Any insight is appreciated. Is it a worm? What is my next step? Should I be worried?

    Sapphire Olive Egger Egg Laying Journey
