I tried googling to no avail as well.

to whomever posted it, the yolks are yellow from the git go.

this is very strange

That's really odd...maybe a college with a poultry program or the extension office can offer an answer (or point you to one).

Google is over rated.... That is very strange, I agree with sending it off to maybe the university or state vets office to have it looked at ?

So could the hen that laid that egg maybe have accidently deposited some not yet eggs in that egg before she laid it?

i've never witnessed anything like that before, are they some sort of excess membrane sacks filled with white or something similar?!? lol i have no clue.

the problem is, as i stated above, is the egg yolks start out yellow, they don't turn yellow. these aren't yolks.

i wonder if maybe there was some type of "seed" that the albumin formed around, just as it forms around the yolk?

i forwarded the picture to the poultry science dept at my alma mater. i hope that is ok? we will see if i get an answer...
