EGG DEBRIS

[TEXASSCENT]

SOME OF MY EGGS HAVE PARTICLES IN THE WHITES. IT LOOKS LIKE DIRT OR DARK FLAKES.

Those are "meat spots". Sometimes during the egg forming process little bits of lining from the oviduct becomes detached and this ends up in the egg white. It looks unappetising, but the egg is quite edible.
