Was making cookie dough and cracked the egg into the dough (should have cracked it into a bowl 🤦🏻‍♀️) saw two of these things. Not sure if they are worms or just part of the egg. One of my new hens just recently started laying and the egg came from her, cracked the other egg I have of hers open and didn’t see anything. Please help and tell me if I have to start over 😭

It is very easy to pull apart, Kind of has elasticity, the first one I found came right apart. Just thought i’d add that

It looks like a long strand of egg white or part of the chalaze. Worms are opaque and off white, and smooth. Here is a similar thread, and @dawg53 answered the poster:

Oh yeah, it definitely didn’t look like that, looked like solidified egg white kind of if there is such a thing.
