A Soupbean Inside a Yolk!

[Lisamairey]

When peeling and slicing a hard boiled egg, I found a soup bean inside the yolk! One of my hens must have found a rogue bean under the bean trellis. Clearly, it was indigestible as it was intact...but why was it in the yolk and not in the poop? Never saw such a thing in my life!

Wierd. Do you have Pictures? It's likely lash material.

It was not a bean.

I agree with the replies. There is no way for a bean to get into the ovary, infundibulum or anywhere else in the oviduct for that matter.

It was a Rojo Domingo soup bean. I know because I grew them last summer. No way it was anything else. The girls were helping me clean up the garden. I guess they found a random lignified bean on the ground

But it did. It was a Rojo Domingo soup bean. Clearly a bean.

It truly was a bean. I grew them last year. It was identical to what I grew.

What is lash material?

What is lash material?

It's hardened pus from an infection, can look like a bean.

It is highly improbable that something a chicken ingested would end up in the reproductive tract. When finding something odd in an egg, it's good idea to take some pics as you dissect for inspection.
