Safe to eat???

[MartinFamilyHomestead]

Is this duck egg safe to eat? Both pictures are of the same egg. It was laid 4/3 and today is 4/7. Only 4 days old. Also was laid in their coop and collected the morning it was laid.

From my research, could be just blood spot? I read they can be darker but most of the pictures I saw looked more red.

Please let me know your thoughts!

Yes, just a meat spot. Also seen in chicken eggs. Perfectly edible.

I was really hoping so because I was going with my gut feeling that it was fine and I ate it anyway

Thank you! I honestly appreciate when people see someone already answered but instead of clicking out of thread they agree and it makes you feel better you have multiple people saying it’s fine than just one.

That's fine.

My dad likes to waste eggs if there's a blood spot, or meat spot in the eggs.

We honestly have so many I could have afforded to toss it out and made another but we are selling them now and I’m a strong believer in you have to want your own product. If someone sends a picture of that and I tell them it’s fine to eat, I wouldn’t feel comfortable saying that when I myself throw them away
