This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The whites of one of these eggs was actually yellow (infosec.pub)

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.

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!
