Dolly is a Dixie hen who just started laying at about 8 mo old (we had a rough beginning of the year no one has been laying well for a couple months). I've got 3 fairy eggs from her the first two just had egg white in them and they have been aabout 4 days apart this one was only 2 days since tube last and it has weird spots. I've heard meat spoMs is this all it is or should I be worried. Im a overprotective mama.

That looks like meat spot, several of them, which is a piece of tissue broken off form reproductive tract or it could be an immature or malformed ova.
Is a 'Dixie' a high production hybrid layer?
Surprised she didn't lay until 8mo, was she ill?
She may start laying 'good' eggs, or not.

Yes a hybrid egg layer and I think it was our extended winter that kept her from starting earlier. We had a warm spell then back below freezing then warm then cold until april. I was concerned that maybe she did have malformed repro tract.

It's length of daylight that makes them lay, not warmth.
For a hybrid pullet to not start laying until April is odd....
....something is amiss, she may never lay right.

I just meant the stress of the whether changes being so quick could have caused it. Maybe? I don't know I just hope she is ok.
