egg mishap

[rh71]

ever crack open an egg (as you're preparing breakfast) and find light-red blood inside along with the yolk ? It just happened to us.

Does that mean it was almost a chicken ? What keeps an egg (that you buy at the market) from becoming a chicken ?

they were never inseminated

I've seen it before. Sometimes the eggs have a blood clot in them. The process prevents further development because they are never feertilized. It is safe to eat, just pick out the clot.

^ is it just warmth ? Is that why we keep eggs cold ? If we kept them warm after we buy them I doubt they will become chickens. 😉

I'm just trying to understand why the blood and at what stage..

it's just a clot from a burst vessel. There are blood vessels in the egg, you just don't normally see them.
