Default 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.

Don't most eggs have that??? 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...

Yup. They're struts, to keep the yolk centered. Real name "Chalaza".

YEs, it has nothing to do with fertilization.

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

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.

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.

No, they are signs of a ruptured blood vessel. They are NOT signs of
fertilization.
They are officially called "bloodspots."
