blood spot in egg

[motherhen]

I just want to make sure my chickens are okay and that its alright to eat the eggs. I have found tiny little blood spots inside the egg located close to the yoke. Is this normal? It doesn't happen on all eggs just a few. Is this because my hens often lay eggs with double yokes?
Help, thanks.

I'm no expert, but according to my sources, the blood spot is caused by a rupture blood vessel during egg formation in the hen. It's not Kosher, but if you want you can eat it or take it out.
Hope that helps.
