My Hen Laid This?!?

It's not an embryo. An embryo needs to develop inside the egg, and it would take a week or more to get that size, plus it wouldn't be white.

I would lean more towards some extra material from the reproductive tract, or possibly the beginnings of salpingitis. Let's hope it's not that, though. If it is, you'll likely start seeing bigger chunks.

Thanks for mentioning this Mosey. My thinking exactly.

if you live in or around L.A. Then you might want to look at this if shes sick. Though I dont know the.symptoms, it's just a warning if you do live there.

Thankfully I live on the other end of America, but thank you for that. I sent in one of my birds that I lost for a necropsy, and they did test for Newcastle and she didn't have it yay!!

Crazy thing is, I left the tissue or whatever it was on the plate on the counter for my husband to see when he got home for work, and it is all shriveled up now. The white is gone and the rest looks a dried blood clot So weird

Weird things develop in the egg tract and get pushed out. Sometimes, something like that blob get laid with a shell on it making it a "fart egg". Positively not an embryo. I collect my eggs daily but sometimes they don't go into the fridge for several days. There are no issues with eating an egg, fertile or not, that is a few days old. Without being in an incubator, they do not develop.

That's good to know. Hopefully that's all it is. I don't want to have to worry about mystery egg-laying issues on top of mystery sicknesses.
