Can food get in eggs? YOUR THOUGHTS?

[RooStar Chicken Gang]

So what are your thoughts and knowledge perhaps about this idea, can what a chicken eats get into the actual egg? we know there diet does effect the quality of the egg so doesn't that mean it's kinda in the actual egg too or no? I could only find two answers online to this question an both are saying no but I am not sure? (post answers of the image)

It's completely impossible.
Food has to travel through the gastrointestinal tract and ultimately out the vent.
Ovulation and egg production occurs in the reproductive tract. The two meet at the same ending but have completely different starting points.

The answer is no. Particles within the egg are most often meat spots. Sometimes there is a blood streak.

I am not saying it is 100% of the time a meat spot or blood streak but it is definitely not the actual food they ate appearing as particles.

In all of us - food is digested, broken down into molecules absorbed into the body and rearranged into muscle tissue, used for growth and reproduction. It changes from plants into animal tissue.

Looks like a meat spot. It happens sometimes with chickens and is more likely as they age.

A meat spot doesn't mean the chicken ate meat and a piece of that meat ended up in the egg. As others have said, food particles ending up in the egg is anatomically impossible. A meat spot is a piece of tissue from the reproductive tract that sheds and ends up in the egg. A blood spot, also commonly found in eggs and visually similar to a meat spot, is a drop of blood from a burst capillary within the reproductive tract, that ends up in the egg while it's being formed. Both are common and happen within the reproductive tract, as the egg is being formed, and have nothing to do with what the chicken ate.
