Blood in eggs!!

[chickenmaniac]

Everytime i crack an egg to fry it, the egg has little blood speckles in it, why is that? For instance today i went to the coop, got the eggs, cracked it and it had blood spots in the egg yolk! does this happen to anyone else? is this normal? is this safe to eat? or what should i do if i want to eat them?


Sorry for this being in the wrong forum but i just didnt know where to post it. . . .

Eggs will get some blood spots and meat spots. They are safe to eat. If the egg is stored for a few weeks, the spots often disappear. This article has sections on both, along with most other egg defects.
