Black specs (not red blood spots) on yolk

[HMSmith]

This is what the yolk looks like with a shell that has a grey ting to it

I believe I have one lady that keeps laying them.

Maybe.
Don't know ducks.
But certainly need some good pics to gander a guess.
Highly unlikely its worms.

An egg is an egg. I thought you might know?

Hmm not sure....only thought is 'dead' blood turns dark.
What do you mean the shell has a grey tinge?
Do you know what duck this egg is coming from?


Right, but thought ducks might be exposed to different habit and diseases.

I'm thinking like you mentioned it's blood spots that turned black. I can't see dirt transferring into a Duck egg. Isn't the digestive and egg machine two different set ups?

Nope, me neither.

My Pal said he bought a flock of layers once and all the eggs had black spots so he butchered the flock for his dogs.
He isn't sure but thinks they were older birds.

I have cayuga ducks and some of the eggs do have the black dot as well, I just though that because they lay black eggs that it was the norm to have black instead of red dots in the yolk.

Could be a meat spot ect.
