Help. Wife found this in her egg this morning
Has anyone had a whiteish mass in their egg before? I looked online and some people said it's intestinal lining some said ovary parts. Not sure, but it looks too big to be the white strandy stuff.
It actually looks like chiCken fetus to me. The unformed eye in the head blob maybe. Happened once to me also. They are eggs after all, and some get past quality control
Lol quality control implies those chicken farms even have quality to begin with. It's literally night and day between farm fresh eggs and those weird hardly yellow watery things they claim are eggs from grocery stores.
Happens every so often. Eggs are eggs.
Makes sense, but what is it? Do we just... Let it go and carry on? Nothing to see here? Lol

What else you gunna do?
You can see if an egg is growing into a chicken in future by shining a bright light through it in a dark room/box. You will be able to see the veins growing, or else just a blank yolk. There are pictorial guides on tinternet.
if this is farm fresh, it might be a fetus. i raised chickens so I've seen this before.. there's quite a few streaks of blood in the white as well, suggesting it might be fertilized.. you said you didn't have a rooster but without that knowledge I would have been certain of it. do you have a neighbor with free range chickens who might have a rooster?
I don't have backyard birds, city slicker I am. I've occasionally seen something like this in store bought eggs. I've never seen it up this close though and this looks a little big and not as white. I kind of thought it was something normal. Looking it up, could it be chalazae?
I don't think so, maybe? It's a little too big to be chalazae I think.
How did it taste?
I'll ask the garbage disposal.
