New layers can produce some oddities.

What does the inside look like?

I'm curious about the inside as well. I have never seen an egg quite like that but first time layers can definitely lay some weird ones

It looks like a fingerling potato to me.

I've gotten fairy eggs with NO yolk and also a 3 yolker (like 104 grams from a chicken egg IIRC) in addition to the numerous double yolkers I've seen/had throughout the years in new layers or returning to lay from broody/molt. The most I've seen reported was 9 yolks in a single egg. However this 22 yolk video keeps popping up,,

Multi yolkers can be a primary cause of egg binding and I've lost at least one hen to it.. so I far prefer to avoid them for that reason alone.

A nice little write up and video how eggs are formed and a number of things that can go awry with some of their POSSIBLE causes..

I didn’t crack it fully open, I don’t think it had a yolk , the shell was pretty tough though
