Eggs

[Bebe Brett]

My 8 RIRs are now laying 6 to 8 eggs daily. They are jumbo size, but instead of being just brown they have brown speckles on some. Could the speckles be blood? Is there something wrong? They have a heat lamp hat goes on about 2am to increase production but perhaps I am pushing them too hard?

The speckles are usually fine. You can post pictures if you want, or just do a search- others have pictures. But I get speckled eggs all the time. Its probably a misfire in the painting department. And speckled or not, they fry up just fine.
