Gray egg white?

[rosemarythyme]

I'm thinking the large blood/meat spot stained the whites upon cooking. Probably safe to eat but I wouldn't want to chance it (and don't think anyone would ask for it in their egg salad!)

Have seen blood and meat spots in HB eggs, never seen the albumen turn gray like that.
Thinking this is more like bacteria/mold got into egg before cooking.

How could that happen? We tossed the egg for sure. The chickens seem healthy. Any idea on how, why or a cause if that?

There was no rotten or off smell from the egg either. Maybe a blood spot in the white of the egg?

I can believe the meat spot would stain the egg white, particularly if there was a delay between boiling and peeling. I'd guess not harmful, but would give it back to my chickens just because it looks icky.

Hairline crack in shell allowing something to get in and grow.
Not sure that's what it was tho.
Some things are undefinable.
Toss the egg in the trash and hope you never see it again.
