Fertilized Egg

That is SO strange. It looks definitely fertilised!

Yes great pics would help.

Hey, don't blame me. (My rooster doesn't live anywhere near you!)

Here they all are. I don't see any signs of a rooster and nobody has crowed. I am pretty sure I have gotten eggs from all of them.

Well gosh no obvious roos! You have no other poultry? (PS your polish is GLORIOUS!)

Thank you!
No, just these chickens. I cracked open eggs from the same 3 hens I used for my breakfast and it seems like my marans egg is the culprit. Maybe she just lays weird eggs?

Could be- but I have never seen an egg look like that if it is not fertilised! Does she hang around with one chicken a lot?

Omelet, scrambled, or sunny side up?

She is head of the flock, so they all tend to stick close to her.

Scrambled.

Wow weird, that really does look fertilised!
How long have you had her? Any suspicious other 'hen' behaviour from your others?
