foreign objects in eggs

[Ron Hardy]

I am 69 years old and have eaten eggs all my life. I have not cooked all these eggs but this morning I found a piece of plastic about a quarter inch square in shape. I noticed it after I cracked the egg and put in the skillet. How could this happen?

What on earth....never heard of this. You don't have a picture do you?

 

[chickens really]

Possibly in the pan already...?
Not possible to be in the egg its self.

 

[Ron Hardy]

it is plastic flexible and has texture

The reproductive track of anything has nothing to do with the digestive system or you would have poop in the eggs too....

It's highly improbable, but not totally impossible.
Things can work their way upstream in the reproductive system.

Were these eggs from your birds?
Did you break the egg directly into the pan?
No chance at all the plastic was transferred externally from a kitchen surface?
Do you recognize the source of the plastic?

It may forever remain a mystery.

Great pic BTW @Ron Hardy ....and Welcome to BYC.
