what is this in my egg?

I couldn't eat it and threw it out and said a prayer for thoughts of a baby forming.

No Baby!! It looks like a egg shell deposit----was it kinda hard? I have actually got eggs, big eggs thinking they were double yolked and break the egg and another Complete egg--shell and all inside of it. Was thinking you might be got something similar.

Definitely not a forming chick.

Not an embryo at all. Looks like a meat spot...a piece of ovarian tissue that sloughed off during the formation of the egg.

X 2 - quite common and nothing to be concerned about.....they are easily picked out (or, for the less squeamish, mixed in) but the egg is still very safe to eat.

Looks like a 'lash egg'...hardened puss from infection.
Did you cut it open?

 

[newchickmomma12]

no,I did not cut it open but it did turn black and shrunk after a time after I cracked the egg.
