My RIR has been laying for about a month now, and her eggs always have these little bits in them. Is this normal? This egg has more than usual.

It looks like blood spots, which aren't harmful to the chicken or a human consuming the eggs, and usually disappear after a few days. It's common. When a chicken is new to laying eggs, they come out looking all sorts of shapes, sizes, and weird insides! 😂
 
Yep, blood and meat spots.

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.

They may stop...... or not.
