Pics of weird yolk spot - advice?

[HuffleClaw]

I agree 1000% with @Texas Kiki!

Could it be the heat of one day?

No.

It kinda does look like an embryo....but there would be veins/blood if it was and it wouldn't be that big after just one day, so I don't think it is an embryo.

Maybe try to cut it in half?
Do you know which bird is laying it?
How often have you seen this happen?
You'll need smart and understanding customers to deal with this.

I would gag if I bought an egg and opened it up to eat and I saw this.

I’ve seen it 3 times over the past month. I have 3 birds it could be but I don’t know which one it is. Is this egg safe to eat?

Oh my goodness. Now I’m worried. What is it?

To me it looks like it has been developing.
Notice the color of the yolk too...it looks off and it looks broken.

How old and what breed are the birds?

Is this egg safe to eat?

Safe?... probably. I wouldn't eat it, exceeds my yuk factor limit.

What is it?

If you're positive it's only one day old....and you didn't cut it open and see layers(like a 'lash egg')....
I'd guess just a large piece of tissue shed from inside the reproductive system.

To me it looks like it has been developing.

'looks like'....kinda... but given only a day old and no veins...nah.

That pictures really blown up. It’s about a centimeter in diameter.

I am positive it’s only a day old.

Thank you sooo much for the help!

They’re lavender and blue orptingtons. 1.5 years old.

That's about what I guessed....large for meat spot, but think that's what it is.

Ok so I can tell people throw it out or not it’s up to them but it’s just a meat spot? I don’t sell eggs but I give them to friends.

Is my rooster causing this?

I can't tell you absolutely if it's safe or not...or what exactly it is.
I would want to dissect it further...like cut it in half to look for lash type layers within.

What I do with my few customers, who are also friends, is if they find anything funky to put the whole egg shell and all into a small container and put it in the fridge so I can see what it is and try to pin down the cause...and of course I replace any inedible eggs.
