Strange 'thing' in egg

[AnnieD]

I found this in my boiled egg it looks like a tiny kidney...!or could it be a worm? It wasn't attached to the yoke but very close.. I cut it in half and it was firm spongy texture.. the white of the egg nearit was grey colou.. ugh!

Do an onsite search on 'lash egg'. To me it looks like a lash enclosed within a normal egg.

Thank you for the welcome and the speedy response..
Ive had a look at lash egg, it's not the same as that.. this was inside the egg and as big as a pea, the lash looks like an egg or something that's been laid...

Redsoxs thanks for the link it's all worth knowing.. I couldn't find anything similar on there either.. but main thing is my girl is fine..
Thank you again guys..
Love this site

It may be a very large 'meat spot' or a very small 'lash' that was encapsulated within the egg. This is not an uncommon occurrence. In commercial production such eggs are identified through candling and relegated to baked goods.
