OK, just from the photo it looks like a normal egg. I have seen many eggs with something that looks like what is shown in the picture; it's usually smaller. We only purchase Eggland's Best. I don't know what it is, but I don't think it's a chick fetus.

that is the way it is on these boards.

Semantics - arguing/ difference of opinion
Just skip it!
OP merely posted a pic of what was in an egg she purchased. I didn't see where OP asked for any opinions.

She certainly had to know that people would comment with their own thoughts and opinions. That's what posters do on forums.

And "arguing" and "difference of opinion" are not the same thing. Disagreeing with someone is not the same as arguing.

This sounds like arguing to me. The 3 posts that followed my reply to OP@fourpaws56 when she said she was sorry she posted the picture were all unecessary IMO. First, I was explained the difference between an argument and a difference of opinion. Then I was asked if I knew what a forum was and told to stop telling people what they can and can not do. Then again, explained the difference between an argument and a difference of opinion, at least to that poster.

hi missy, I bought the eggs at costco,a pack of five dozen...it is not a big deal,i was just surprised and wanted to post about it...i am sorry I did now..
@fourpaws56
Don't be sorry. I'm glad you posted this. Makes me more aware of what kind of eggs to buy and how often to eat them. Dh and I had already cut back on eating eggs after we found out about the pack code on the carton that tells you how old they are. I don't post much because no matter what it is someone on this board can turn it into an argument. Just ignore them. Thanks for sharing.😃

@starpolisher. Starting a thread means the op starts and posters chime in to make it a thread. Do you know what a forum is? And stop telling people what they can and can’t do.
@proudlyfromNJ
What? Who did I tell what they could or could not do? Why do some of these threads have to be so argumentative especially when they are essentially about nothing!

to me, there is a big difference between an argument and a difference of opinion. one is much more volatile than the other.
were we supposed to just look at the pic and agree with her as to what we saw even if we did not see the same thing?
these are discussion forums......hence, a discussion ensued where no one was "mean" to another person.

hope everyone has an "eggs-cellent" day tomorrow!

I'm just catching up on this thread, and with all due respect, you are arguing far more than anyone else (and pretty persistently too.)

This is a discussion. People agree, people disagree. Some posts here are a little more abrupt than others, but most have been just fine.

Difference of opinions are opportunities for learning!

Absolutely!

And also, as my best friend often says, "That's why they make chocolate and vanilla!". We don't all think alike or have the same opinions. And imagine how boring it would be if everyone always agreed.

Okay, that's pretty nasty, but what's worse is the pale yellow color of the yolk. I purchase pasture raised, organic eggs from Whole Foods. The yolk is orange in color (because of all the sunshine the hens are exposed to and they eat grass, bugs, etc. and no corn or grain).

Maybe you should look into pature raised eggs. Oh, and they taste amazing

@Qshopper1991 Yes, I completely agree about orange yolks being better than pale yellow.

There is as much misinformation floating around about eggs, hens and egg production as about anything I can think of. If you are at any level interested in your eggs and what you are buying, please take 30 minutes to read and inform yourself on the issue and what the terms on the egg carton mean.

A few examples: Pasture raised doesn't mean they aren't fed by the producers in addition to what they eat in a pasture. Pasture space has to be moved frequently or the chickens will peck the ground bare.

Egg yolk color depends on what they eat, and is easily manipulated by their feed. Color can come from marigold leaves or red peppers or other things.

Natural and hormone free may not be what you think either.

It is all very interesting and if you eat eggs at all, can really help you make decisions at the store to get the kind of eggs you want! Happy egging!

@Sooner, I used to get eggs delivered to me from a girl that lived on a farm that sold to the local area. The were pasture raised. The way they explained it was that the chickens were not free to roam the farm but were in little covered enclosures that they moved from place to place. So, they ate bugs and whatever was on the ground, and they had sunlight and good air circulation. They didn't say if they supplemented the feeding. This not only kept the chickens together so they could find all the eggs, but also helped to protect the chickens from predators.

I have yet to know the difference between pasture raised and free range though. Maybe free range do get to wander the farm, but I'm kinda doubting that for the same reasons I gave above.

@fourpaws56

Thanks for showing us your egg. I love eggs and live in farm country. If I see any egg that has blood running through it, I just pitch it. This one does look unusual. I am aware you weren't making a big deal out of it....just sharing what happened with the rest of us. I'm glad you did. It ended up teaching us things we didn't know and probably should. The only bad thing.....I don't think I will make that egg salad for breakfast tomorrow morning as planned. Ha!

As for the nutritional value of the yolks, darker, more colorful yolks have the same amount of protein and fat than lighter yolks. Some studies have shown, however, that eggs from pasture-raised hens can have more omega-3s and vitamins but less cholesterol due to healthier, more natural feed.Feb 5, 2015

@jubilant The problem being that you don't know what chickens eat from it saying pasture raised and that isn't always what you think it means. I learned a whole lot about chickens and egg cartons today from doing some reading.
