My friend has my chickens currently at her house and brought me eggs this morning. SOme chicken some duck. I scrambled some up with some milk this morning and this is what happened... what is the deal? Is this safe to eat??? I left them on the counter to post this and my 2yos ate them!!!

No need to panic. If it's just a glitch in the laying system, it's not going to hurt anyone. I believe if the chickens aren't eating poison, and haven't been treated recently with any medications (and neither of these things would cause an egg to look funky like that), they are safe to eat.

It looks like the duck eggs in the whites, do you have any freezing in your area? It kinda looks like maybe the eggs were frozen awhile...

I'm wondering if it isn't a big 'meat spot'? Meat spot or blood spot, I agree. Either way, while gross, well cooked, it's all protein. I make cakes using eggs with blood spots in them. No biggy.

That looks like under cooked duck egg whites to me. I eat duck eggs every day though they are almost always fried. They do appear more clear/firm when under cooked and really white when cooked through. I admit, I love duck eggs, but that looks super nasty.

OMG....that is gross. So in your 2yo you meant chicken I hope??

Duck eggs may look different than chicken eggs,(thicker and prolly cook thicker) some people like them some don't.

I’ve never seen that before. Following this post as interested to hear what everyone thinks!

Is there a reason why it didn't scramble up with the chicken eggs? Maybe that's why it was separated?

They do have a different, firm texture and take longer to cook. Someone mentioned previously frozen eggs... not sure, but maybe that had something to do with it? Either way, looks super gross, but I doubt that you have anything to worry about Nothing sicks me out like un-cooked egg whites!

Oh, I can beat that. My DH used to cook himself soft-boiled eggs. Runny yolk, undercooked whites, all put in a bowl and mushed with a fork. I couldn't even watch him eat it.
