Scary thing in egg

[Farmgirl0422]

Hi. Just cracked one of my eggs and this came out with it. What the heck is this thing?
Thanks for any help

Interesting... Never seen anything like it

Is it solid inside? If so, could be a lash egg. If not, I had one of my girls lay something like that inside a shell-less egg. One year old Wyandotte. It was really nasty--bloody and yolky inside. Thankfully that's been a couple of months without repeating. I think I'm skipping eggs for breakfast this morning just thinking about it.

Cutting that thing in half might tell more....it does look like a lash(chunk of pus from infection).

We cut it open and yellow stuff came out. I don't know which chicken layed this but should I be concerned for her? Thanks for the input

Could be a funky, malformed or immature yolk...could be sign of infection.
Was there a 'normal' yolk inside this egg?

I wouldn't worry, but remain vigilant.
Funky eggs happen, if you see it once, not to worry....
.....if it continues, then start looking closer.
Do you know which bird laid it?

It had a totally normal yolk. We're not sure which hen laid it but we haven't gotten anymore weird eggs.
Thanks for the help everyone!
