Groovychook Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I had my mother in law to stay this weekend, for the first time since we've had the chooks. I set about making her an omelette for her lunch but cracked the second egg into the bowl to see the whole of it's contents turn red with blood! As far as I could tell, the shell was full of watery blood- eugh I was completely mortified, thankfully the MIL didn't see the incident and I disposed it in a flash and carried on with fresh eggs. I've nervously sent her off home with half a dozen eggs and am hoping that the bloody egg will be just a one off. Is it something I should be concerned about? All the girls seem fine...

Janty Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I have had one of those a few months ago...nothing since so M-I-L's eggs should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Quick thinking! well done I have heard about blood spots in eggs (which are harmless) but not this sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I have had one of those too. It wasa one off. Rather alarming to see though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 We've only ever had two - over 4 years and 25+ layers. Very startling though when you crack them open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Thanks everybody for your encouraging words! It was extremely alarming to see! I had to summon up lots of self control to eat my own omelette because I was feeling decidedly queasy! I could have been scarred for life!

Blackrocksrock Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I had one ages and ages ago and also had great difficulty eating my scrambled eggs after I had started again and wondered if anyone had had another one like it from my eggs and I have not. but it made me feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
