Is this normal and edible?

You can always do the float test to prescreen for rotten eggs. Blood spots are fine but you make it sound like quite a lot of blood, so I definitely wouldn't eat it.

Why are you scared of boiling them? Are you talking about for pasteurization rather than for cooking?

For boiling farm fresh eggs(as in laid that day kind of fresh) I have found after much experimenting this last year that the best ways to get them to peel is to either use the instapot, or bring water to boil first-then add eggs simmer for about 13min. for both cooking methods cool in ice bath ONLY UNTIL COOL ENOUGH TO HANDLE COMFORTABLY, cooling them too long makes the shells stick again for me.

That makes sense. I've been wondering why other people complain about peeling eggs when I usually have such an easy time of it. I guess it's because I'm so impatient I peel them while they are still toasty.

Floating an egg will only tell you how old it might be.
They float due to evaporation when older.
It will not tell you if an egg is 'good' or 'bad'.
Plus then you've wetted the egg so it should be thoroughly washed and refrigerated.

When in doubt....
Open eggs one at a time in a separate dish before adding to pan or recipe,
use your eyes, nose, and common sense to decide if egg is OK to eat.
