Does anyone have insight about this egg? It’s a shipped egg, and was packaged extremely well. Each one individually wrapped in thick foam. It wasn’t like this when I put the eggs in the incubator 2 days ago…

I noticed this stuff appeared a couple hours after I started incubating- and it was already dried and hard when I noticed. I thought I’d ask since it’s been on my mind. I don’t want it to explode if the stuff is coming out due to pressure. I candled the egg but can’t see anything- no air cell that I can see. Most of these eggs that I’ve candled so far arrived with completely detached air cells unfortunately. 😢
Was this egg scrambled during shipment maybe? It’s the only one like this.

Thank you!! 🪺 🐓💕

@nuthatched was right. I took the egg out and cracked it open and it was completely scrambled inside. The yolk must have broken in transit. I didn’t even know that could happen. I’ll be keeping a close eye on the rest. 👍
