Several white dots in yolk

[Cblackwell1022]

I’ve had chickens for several years but I’ve never seen this. I cracked eggs this morning to cook and initially they looked fine but as they started to cook several white dots appeared in the yolk. What is it?

What is it?

Welcome to BYC!

There can be several causes of mottled yolks. Certain drug like anti-coccidials, wormers, and also some feed stuff, or certain weeds, even freezing. See *possible* explanations in the following link (#3 under yolks)..

That's very interesting.
Doesn't quite look like mottling, more like multiple blastoderms(tho not sure that's possible).
