White thing next to egg yolk
The little white things next to the yolk means that the hen that laid
the egg had been visited by a rooster. It means the egg is fertile and would have hatched into a little chick if it had been incubated. If the hen had never been with a man, I mean rooster, the white thing would not be there. I never pay any attention to it and eat as many as 35 eggs a week. Now that you know what it is, I bet a lot more of you pick it out LOL or quit eating eggs all together. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

I cracked an egg not too long ago that had a small amount of blood in the yolk, now that probably meant there was a rooster in the hen house somewhere... It actually means it was probably very fresh. It would be a pale red area if the egg was less fresh. A developing chick would show up as a network of blood vessels.

White thing next to egg yolk
Blood spots on an egg do NOT mean the egg was fertilised. They are
due to the rupture of a tiny blood vessel during yolk formation. The 'redder' they are, the fresher they are. Most eggs with large blood spots are found (by candling) and removed simply because many people are upset by the sight of them. Some people may also have religious reasons to avoid eating them, but they are not dangerous. The 'strings' are called chalazae and are a protein string which holds the yolk in the centre of the egg. It's not a sign of a developing embryo. See http://www.aeb.org/faq/general-faq.html Aramanth |
