Speck in egg?

[Vikinglike]

I get this sometimes; or maybe all the time and just don’t notice it?
What is it, and is it in all eggs, commercial eggs as well?
My girls are seven months.
Orpingtons and Wyandottes.
Thanks!!

Looks like a blood spot...nothing to worry about.
Some birds may lay them frequently, others less so or never.
Commercial eggs are candled to weed these out.

Blood spots are from a blood vessel breaking when ova is released from follicle.
Meat spots are from a tiny piece of tissue breaking loose from the reproductive tract.
I think it's explained in this excellent video, which is worth watching regardless:

What @aart said - generally 'blood spot' eggs are used in the baking industry.

A blood spot.
I candle all my eggs, and keep those and the meat spots eggs for myself. GC
