Do you usually check the condition of the yolk when you crack an egg? The size and color of the yolk vary from egg to egg, but the appearance of bright red blood streaks inside the yolk is definitely unusual. Recently, a netizen shared a video showing that they discovered a beating heart after cracking an egg!
A netizen on the Facebook group "Blast Waste 1 Commune" reacted with a crying emoji, saying, "A small heart is working hard to beat, but there's no turning back." In the video, an egg is cracked into a bowl, and there are blood streaks in the middle of the yolk. If you look closely, you can even see a small red dot rhythmically expanding and contracting. It turns out that this is a successfully fertilized egg, but without the protection of the eggshell, it might not have time to grow up.
The video attracted over 4,000 likes and discussions. Some of the comments included: "An egg broken from the outside is food, but broken from the inside is life," and "No, this is a more serious problem with the egg merchant's quality control. Only when roosters are mixed in with the hens will there be fertilized eggs. If you wait another ten days and see a more complete chicken, the person cracking the egg will definitely be shocked." Another user commented, "That is indeed a heart... based on my experience of hatching eggs in the thousands," while another said, "I can't eat it, I dare not touch it," and another countered, "Eat it, it doesn't even have consciousness. You usually eat chickens that are alive and kicking and can feel pain, so why are you afraid to eat this?"
Many hatching experts also offered tips, saying that this egg still has a chance to become a chick: "Wrap it in plastic wrap, add a heat lamp or incubator, and maintain it at about 28 degrees Celsius, there is a chance of hatching. Search 'shell-less chick hatching'," "Some students have done experiments before and indeed hatched shell-less chicks with plastic wrap + a constant temperature lamp," "It can still be hatched! Wrap it in plastic wrap, put it in a place with a constant temperature, and maintain the temperature," "There is still hope, prepare a bowl, cover the bowl with clean plastic wrap, don't stretch it too tight, let it sag naturally in the middle, pour in the egg, cover with another layer of plastic wrap, and use a light bulb to maintain the temperature. You may need to search the internet for details. Basically, it's a small experiment where you can observe the formation of the chicken."
If you found a fertilized egg when cracking an egg, would you want to try hatching a chick?
