Hi! One of my hens, a black copper maran, is a good layer. We also have a rooster, which may be a factor. My question has to do with the fact that every egg she lays has a meat spot (dark red/brown fleck). Every time. I hear that they can be caused as a blood vessel rupture when laying and it’s natural, sometimes caused by stress or weather changes. Well. None of my other hens has laid an egg with a meat spot. It’s been 18 months of laying with this particular flock (in my other flocks, no meat spots either). Is there a way to help her not lay meat spots? Does this mean I’ll never be able to hatch a black copper maran? (The rooster is black copper maran and the other hens are black Ameraucana).
Not an emergency. Just very very curious.
