Blck specks inside egg shell, & on egg wgite.

[Chelldell]

My husband, and I have raised chickens for quite some time, and we are used to getting a blood spot here and there on the yolk, but today, we had black specks inside the shell, and the egg whites. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Thank you for your help!

Something like this maybe @Chelldell ?
Been asked more than few times over the years, never found an answer.

Strange. Never seen that

Are they fresh?
Being hard boiled, something may be in the way they are cooked.

This is what the inside of the shell looked like; the dark specks were in the white as well.
Thank you for your help!

So this is a raw egg?
No pics of the specks in the white?

Yes, the egg was just cracked, and fresh. My husband had thrown out the egg before I could get the picture, but there were black specks on the white as well.

Yes, the egg was just cracked for frying when my husband called me to look at it. I have never seen anything like it
