Lulabellx1 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hi All I have just made a cake and when doing so went to use one of our eggs. It cant be more than a week old. When I cracked it open it looked like the egg white had kind of dried up a bit and there was a slight fury green mould around the yolk. On closer inspection I noticed some tiny little bugs inside?! I don't think the egg was damaged in any way (no holes etc). I am a bit worried as we have only just begun to sell our excess eggs and I don't want anyone to get one like this in their egg-box! Has anyone experienced this before? All other eggs seem fine and we dont have any infestations in the coop (I checked) Lu x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucknette Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hi Lu Is it possible that it could have been an old egg that the hen had hidden for a while and you found it. I can't think of any other explanation other than it had a weak spot and let bacteria in and some insect laid eggs Whenever I bought free range farm eggs and got a dodgy one I always thought they must have found this one. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Delayed reply. Pop them in water and if they float they are stale. You insecty one would have floated. I think that would have stopped me cracking another egg Did it stink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
