hi I’m new to the site I sell eggs and one old lady said 1 out of every 3 eggs has small brown spots the eggs are coming out of 2 year old hens she thinks there sick anyone have any ideas she says the spots aren’t blood spots
 
funy since this has popped up at byc, Ive had several spots to show up in my pullets eggs. I examined one closely and found it to be a small clot.
sounds gross, yes it does, but as with tiny specks of blood I just use em anyway.
One boiled egg had several clot specks on its surface. It was indeed unusual. I cut them away with a small knife. No harm done.
I dont think IVe ever seen this until it was mentioned on this site now its almost a norm. a.j.s
 
My two black australorps lay eggs that have brown spots on them too.It started about two weeks ago,but the hens appear to be as happy as can be:)
I still eat the eggs and haven't got sick yet
 
The spots are I think are called meat spots. Perfectly ok to eat. I get them too every once in awhile. I have seen some other posts on other threads addressing this.
