Why are they are. What is it?
They are similar to calcium deposits, except the speckles are smaller.

Those are pigment 'speckles'...not calcium deposits.
Some breeds always lay speckled eggs, others do it once in awhile.
I like them.
That breed birds do you have?

Oops, good to know
It's very normal and like @aart said, they are called "pigment speckles."

I have lace hens and isa hens
Dots on eggs aren't determined by breed but rather an individual chicken.
