Our friend gave them to us, I’ll have to ask more info we just asked to have eggs for breakfast and he showed up with the “Tinas” as we call them! One thing for sure they have 0 motherly instincts.

That’s a great story :lau He just wanted to make sure you didn't bother him by asking for eggs again! They look like a form of RSL, if you can figure out where your friend got them, we can determine the “Type”

Odd egg are not unusual at this time.

That is a 'fart egg'.
Immature yolk with some 'meat spots' (tissue shed from reproductive tract.
Fairy, fart, wind, rooster eggs are usually from a tiny piece of tissue breaking loose from the reproductive tract, or an immature ova(yolk) and the body forms an egg around it. Color can be darker than 'normal' as the pigment coating released has to cover a much smaller area so is thicker. Can happen with any age layer, but more common with older layers.

I think it's explained in this excellent video, which is worth watching regardless:
 
Fairy egg and the fairy omelet!
