ktdot Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Are they little spots? Some eggs are naturally freckled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Mine occasionally do ones with brown spots- no idea what it means but they taste the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 It could be tiny blood spots, caused by tiny ruptures if blood vessels as the egg travels along the laying tackle. Some hens are more prone to this. Nothing to worry about. I love a speckled egg myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
