What is this?

Okay so I went and got eggs for breakfast and cracked this one egg open and it has this weird thing in it. We do have a rooster but they are in separate coops(still trying to introduce them togeather) and did have contact about a week ago but I watched them the whole time and nothing happened she just chased him around the whole time. What is this?

this came out of the egg??

Looks like a meat spot. Fairly common. Occasionally things get loose inside the hen's body cavity. If it makes its way into the hen's internal egg making factory it can wind up in the egg. Blood spots are more common but meat spots happen. That one looks pretty gross.

Commercial egg laying operations candle their eggs to remove any with internal defect like that so customers don't get that kind of a surprise. If the defect isn't hat bad the eggs are sold to places that break the eggs before they use them, bakeries, pet food, things like that. That is the perfect example of why it is a good idea to break our eggs into a separate bowl before we use them, you never know what yo will find in them.

That has nothing to do with a rooster.

A fertile egg will not develop unless it is kept at really warm temps. Even then it takes a while for it to develop enough for you to see anything. Roosters get blamed for a lot of different things on this forum, occasionally rightly so. But this is not one of them.
