Black stone

[Jax85]

I just cracked open and egg to cook and noticed a black stone type thing in the white of the egg. Does anyone have a clue what that is? I am new to chickens and don’t know if I should worry.

Huh. Is it dirt or poo?

I was able to cut it, it was triangle shaped almost reminded me of a kidney stone humans pass

It is probably a large meat spot. That can occur before ovulation when a blood vessel ruptures. Here is a long article about eggs, and you may scroll down to meat spots for more info:

Ok that makes sense and seems like it could be that thank you
