Just cracked one of my hens eggs and found this. Any idea whats going on here? I have two roosters but they're only 3.5 months old so I don't think they're fertilizing the eggs yet. All hens appear healthy.

I'd venture to say this is somewhat past the early stages of development. Especially if you've got broodies and aren't pulling eggs daily, they're incubating.I asked my mother about this (she has lots of experience with chickens) and she thought it looked very strange and not quite like a developing egg. She said the early stages of a developing chick look more like a mass of blood vessels.
She suspected it might be a "meat egg" but I've never heard of that.
Looks like a developing chick ... You can see the eyes & beak, you've have Broodies & not collecting every day ... A "meat" spot is when a tissue of the lining breaks off & makes it's way into the yolk, "blood" spots similar.
Have you any idea? @WVduckchick @Wyorp Rock @oldhenlikesdogs @Eggcessive @azygous @casportpony Thank you in advance
Please tell us what breed these cockerels are.
