Blood spots in eggs

[Frecky45]

Hi All. My question is about the blood spots you sometimes get in eggs. I have 3 Black Sexlinks about 6 1/2 mouths old. They started laying about 2 months back. I feed them organic layer pellets, a couple hand fully of scratch and fresh kitchen scraps(veggies and meat scraps, pasta, rice). Some times meal worms. They do not free range. I consistently collect 3 nice sized eggs every day. I do not have a roo 1) because i live in city limits 2) because i do not want fertile eggs with blood spots in them. Picky, I know! My issue is that many of them DO have blood spots in them anyway. Sometimes just a small spot near the yolk, sometimes larger spots floating freely in the white. Is this normal? I really am not fond of it and have to pre-screen every egg before using it and removing the spots. Some people don't want to use my eggs for this reason. Any comments or ideas would be appreciated.

In this article it talks a little about blood spots. It says that hens or pullets will sometimes release small tissues before the egg has finished forming. And also that it can be from a lack of vitamin A or from a genetic defect.

The reason you don't see blood spots in store eggs is becaus they candle them, and pull out the ones with irregularities.

Some older posts that I found said the spots would be absorbed after a few days. So if I leave my eggs on the counter for a week or so the spots should be gone? I typically put them directly into the fridge.
