They all can have blood spots in them.

To check for fertility you need to look for the bullseye on the yolk.

Thanks. Why do they have blood spots? Does the age of the hen have to do with having blood spots in the eggs? I have only had two eggs from my older hen and both of them had blood spots in them.

From what I understand it has something to do with blood vessels popping or rupturing as it's pushed down the track. I have not official researched the why, but I did read that it a discussion about blood spots in eggs.
