Help! Worms in egg?????

[Nutellalemonade]

Help?! First time seeing what I’m assuming to be a worm in the egg???? Not really sure what I’m looking at. Should I throw our eggs away? What do I do?

That's the chalazae, it holds the yolk in the middle of the egg, all eggs have it but it's more noticeable in some.

That looks like Chalaza which is a normal part of egg anatomy.

That’s What I’m starting to think it is. Asymptomatic hens and I guess worms are rare? I think I panicked a little quickly

Totally understandable reaction and good post. If you are not sure, ask.

That sure looks like Chalaza to me too. I'll include a link with a photo so you can compare what you are seeing to an actual roundworm in an egg. This type of thing can happen, that's why I suggest we always open our eggs in a separate bowl before we mix them with anything.
