found something weird in fresh egg

[1fromgermany]

i started to make scrambled eggs the other day and I saw that odd looking stuff in one of the eggs. The eggs where a day or two old.I ended up throwing it out. Any idea what it is and if it is dangerous to the chickens or for the family to eat. Thanks so much

that looks like a bit of the egg tube lining

nothing to worry about

sometimes the lining sheds and gets into the eggs

just remove with a spoon and carry on I say

Hmmm . . . that is interesting.

Hmmm . . . that is interesting.

if you have ever heard of FART eggs or sometimes called COCK Eggs

that what it is

instead of a yolk passing down a bit of lining gets shed and the system thinks its a yolk and layers it with white and shell

commonly known as a yolkless egg

We've never had any problems with eating them either, I have some quite old ex cagers so I get it alot, it's just like eating the fertile bit, tasteless, textureless and without real consequence or so I have found.

Thank you for all the replays. The weird stuff was in an egg that had a full yolk and a normal white. Does the same advice apply? Thanks again. Nadine

yes it doesn't matter if yolk is there or not its seems like its lining shedded

but if there is no yolk I would be more inclined to not use it
