We've been selling eggs from our pastured flock for several years and never heard of this. A customer sent this picture. The egg white was solid but the yolk was not, when she cracked this egg open this morning. Can't find a good explanation by googling. We collect eggs every day and all our eggs are sold within about 3 days of collecting We have not had freezing temps recently. Anybody have ideas what caused this? Thanks,  |

Is her fridge too cold?
I don't know though - almost looks as if the white is partially cooked?!
Weird...

In the summer if we aren't faithful about gathering eggs we'll get eggs like that. Is it possible she left the eggs in her car too long? Perhaps another family member soft boiled an egg and changed their mind?

Agree with Mari and TBB.... looks like the egg got too hot and partly cooked.

We had a hen that basically cooked her eggs before laying them.
When we finally discovered which one it was .. we put her down. But until we knew we quit selling eggs.

(To the tune of Turkey in the Straw.)
"I had a little chicken and she wouldn't lay an egg,
So I poured hot water up and down her leg.
She screamed and she hollered and she pleaded and she begged,
And the little chicken laid a hard-boiled egg."

Mystery (we think) is solved -- We think the customer took the eggs he was going to cook out of the carton and set them on the stove. Likely - this egg was setting just a little too close to the burner and got the end cooked. When he cracked it open, he thought it had come to him like that. No proof, but that seems to be the reasonable explanation.

No proof, but that seems to be the reasonable explanation. I have done this before too! A couple of weeks ago we had a smell in the fridge and slightly off mushrooms was all we could find. Got rid of them, smell came back, even with bowls of baking soda in there. I checked an egg I had in a dish in the fridge to be used right then, as I thought it had cracked when I took it from the carton and washed it... nope, it had been cracked just barely for the weeks it was in the barn fridge and was rotten inside. Yuck!!! |
