Found a white speckled brown egg this morning. I was wondering if that was normal from a 6 month pullet. She and the flock are on layer crumble free choice and forage for a couple of hours every day.

The texture is smooth not pitted. 99% certain its from my black sex link Blackberry.

Speckled eggs can occur if the pullet/hen is stressed or due to the excess calcium. As your eggs is from a pullet and I'm guessing a new layer I would not be worried as she is more than likely just getting her egg laying machine in full working order.

Here is a very informative article that's a good read ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/common-egg-quality-problems

There are many kinds of 'speckles'........many are completely normal and not a sign of any stress, deficiency, or disease.
Some are excess or uneven coating pigment.
Some are excess cuticle/bloom.
Some are raised and 'bumpy' from excess calcium.
