tiny bumps on eggs

[Blessingtou]

What is this caused by? At first I thought it was tiny eggs on my eggs but then it looks like its part of a shell. Is this calcium? Is there something I should do to correct it.

I believe it is clscium deposits and that it is nothing to worry about.

Yep, excess calcium deposits.

Right.

You just don't see them in stores because they are sorted out of the eggs sold fresh. Many of us see them now and then. I certainly have.

Thanks all - Im kind of a freak about stuff like this and probably wouldnt have ate them if I didnt ask.

This is one of my favorite reference points to check when I get an egg abnormality:
