Found something attached to yolk

[shicken1icken]

So I went to fry an egg and noticed this attached to the yolk. It looked almost like a piece of oatmeal(I know that's not what it is). But didn't look like a worm. Any ideas? Should I be concerned?

That is so weird! You don't think it somehow fell in when you were cracking it! lol

Do you have a rooster? If you do it might have been a developing embryo.
I am no expert so I don't want to mislead you!

No I do not think so. Either way it would take some time to develop right? This was laid this morning.

Okay...
Yes, your right.
It would probably take 24 hours... Could it have been laid last night or did you witness the hen laying on it?
I hope I am helpful! Good luck ya never know!

That is a meat spot. A bit of tissue shed from the reproductive system which is then swept up and included in the egg. A fertile egg that has been incubated will show a developing spider shaped set of capillaries surrounding the blastoderm. You can view embryo development in the learning center.

Yes a meat spot.
Now, what causes that lazy gardener?

Wouldn't it look more like meat?

Yes. What would cause that?
