Egg Anomaly

[Ctsanders]

Hi. This showed up in one of my eggs this morning. I don’t have a rooster. Has anyone else had this before? This is just one egg. All my hens are acting normally. I do have 4 hens that are 18 weeks old but zero signs of any of them being a rooster.

Lash material that got into a shell?

I’ve had blood spots in unfertilized eggs, but that Really Big!

Welcome To BYC

Do you have any other photos of it? Or if you still have it, can you separate out the pieces?

Looks like it may be a piece of Follicle but really hard to tell.

in the 3745 pic, that's where I cut it open.

To me it still looks like a piece of Follicle along with membrane that was sloughed off. It's a good thing that the material was expelled. Gross looking I know. Hopefully this will make a bit of sense from your reading the links below and watching the video.

I assume that your girls have just come into lay at 18weeks, I'd chalk this up as a glitch or working out the kinks.
Hopefully the issue will resolve as she becomes more consistent with laying.

Provide your ladies with a nutritionally balanced feed and oyster shells free choice.

See video in post #4, it's well worth watching (I've watched the video a lot!)
