I couldn't manage to capture how truly neon yellow the white was, it was almost highlighter colored. The yolk broke super easily, and at first I thought it was rotten, but it had no smell.
With a precursory bit of searching, it seems this could either be the result of bacteria getting in the egg, or that the chicken had a diet high in insects and this egg is extra nutritious.

“Bacteria or extra nutritious” is exactly why I not enjoy gambling.

Depends on the odds, no?

Or grammar.

Extra nutrition probably would yield a very dark yolk too. Given that the yolk was soft, I hazard it’s a well aged egg.

I also often my eggs well-aged, but more in the way of chicken. This is poorly aged, by all accounts.

I prefer my eggs < 1month or hatched. Fresher in my experience isn’t always better; it does weird stuff in baking sometimes. But looks like this egg was on its way to be balut, had it been fertilized!

But for the price of eggs, I'd toss it...

Chicken pee is stored in the egg.

Urine deep piss for that factoid.

Did you guys know that eggs are basically a polymer and when you heat them you are polymerizing them into a solid? The stuff is crosslinking before your very eyes!

High level nerding on carbohydrate polymerization 😄

The chicken probably never went outside so...

Any chance it was twins?

We'll never know now....

You'd have to wait a loooooong time to hatch store-bought eggs. Or be very lucky.
The chance that they're fertilised is very small

bad egg (as in bad apple)
