Multiple germinal discs? Like, lots?

Can someone tell me what's going on with the egg on the left? The one on the right has one disc but the one on the left is like nothing I've ever seen. What's going on here?

Looks more like mottled to me. It can happen when birds consume some types of feeds like cottonseed meal, garlic or shepherds purse to name a few.

It also can happen in older eggs. After worming treatments, and in thin shelled eggs.

I collect eggs daily. Hmm.. I feed house scraps to the chickens but always throw the garlic peels in the trash. Might have missed one? Will keep watching.

What is mottled? Like 1 disc didn't get deposited correctly?

Mottled as in color. I believe I see blotches of darker yolk and lighter, but I could be wrong.

My guess is it's a glitch, but see if it continues or not.

Not sure those are discs...but not sure what they are.
Looks a bit different than mottling, but maybe.
Is it consistent or just this one?
