The whites of one of these eggs was actually yellow

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.

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!

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!

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
