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.
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!

But for the price of eggs, I’d toss it…
