What is this in my egg

[barneveldrerman]

I have 6 chickens who are nearly 3 years old. About half the eggs have this in it.

What is this?


Why is it in the eggs?


What can I do to stop it.


Any information would help

Thanks!

......? If it was red i would say tissue, which happens some times and not much you can do about it, and if was puss like i would say looks like a lash egg but this is confusing. I have no clue!

To me it looks like the egg was fertile

My rooster is not in the same pen. They are separate.

My hubby just looked at it and did a search. He said it's chalazae it's part of the egg. Just means the egg is fresh.

You can see the chalazae in the pic, but those red and brownish spots are called blood spots and/or meat spots.

Happens when a small piece of tissue and/or a blood vessel breaks as the ova is released and gets encapsulated in the egg.
Pretty normal and nothing to worry about.

sometimes i find little brown or red spots in a few eggs. i just take a spoon and get those out and continue to use the egg. it is nothing to worry about, just unappealing to our eyes.

Thanks for the information, I will just spoon it out.
