April 25, 2012 Sunny Side Up

No sunny side up for this little egg . . .



It is just a . . . thing . . . that was probably laid by an older hen.

This is probably a blood clot from either a cut in the oviduct or a bleeding follicle that grew large enough to be treated like an egg yolk. It ended up in the oviduct and the hen coated it with albumen and shell.

And that, dear spuck, is why eggs get cracked one at a time into a separate bowl, and each egg is added to the batter before cracking the next.

US factory egg production usually lets us avoid eggs that are anything but pristine in appearance. The chickens may not be happy, but we do get a consistent product.

you have to admit it's more fun to crack all the eggs at one time though.

Indeed. Proper candling would have prevented this rotten egg from making it through.

Maybe this is the result of candling only one in twelve thousand eggs.
