Grape Looking “Thing” Found Inside Egg

[AmandaGraceS]

OK; here’s a puzzler for you! I am cracking open eggs and discover this grape-looking thing in one of my eggs. It wasn’t really attached to anything; it was just included inside the egg shell. The yolk and egg white were normal in every other way. I didn’t open the little mass up to investigate further (gross!). Help me?

Thanks in advance ~ Amanda

That is an egg inside your egg. I have seen that happen several times over the 50+ years I have kept chickens.

An egg inside an egg – that sounds a lot better than an ovarian cyst or some sort of tumor! Is it correct that the “mass” you’re referring to as an egg would be consistent to the firmness of a grape?

Does it feel like a grape?

 

[AmandaGraceS]

YES! Just like a grape. Looks like a grape, feels like a grape ... not a grape.

Just found one in one of my eggs today. Grossed me out wondering what it could be. Mine was a little lighter, but felt just like a tiny grape. It was filled with egg white type material, no yolk.

Hey there, I think I got one of these, mine was white and a little oval shaped.
; It had the consistency of an overripe grape.
