Something weird in an egg

[luvthebeach]

I have a couple hens that lay HUGE eggs! They are too big for an egg carton! Anyway, I cracked one open this morning and found something I have never seen before! Should I be worried?
Thanks for your help!

@luvthebeach Which breed is your hen laying these eggs? How old is she? Is there a rooster in with her? How long has she been laying eggs that look this way inside? How do the eggs look on the outside of that brown area?

Hi there. Can you cut it open?
If layered, That is lash material, it's a sign of reproductive infection.

I believe it is one of my Cinnamon Queens, but I do have 2 red laced Wyandottes. They will be 4 years old next month. When I got them, the hatchery snuck in 2 roosters. So, my Mom took one and we kept the red lace Wyandotte. The rest of the egg looked fine. This is the 1st time I have ever seen anything like that in an egg!

@luvthebeach I have no solutions or explanations to offer. I figured more details would help a knowledgeable member provide some sort of logical explanation. I hope it’s nothing serious.

Do lash eggs show up INSIDE an egg also?

It's rare to my understanding, but it can happen

It doesn't look like a quitter egg, so my guess would be either a lash egg as Nuthatched suggested, or some intestinal shedding- though that'd be a might large one! Were you able to cut it open?
