Those look like meat bits/blood spots. Not unusual for new layers or ones that have been frightened

She's been laying since last summer and the only thing she fears is being last when I call them for treats...lol.

Yes, but it can happen at any time.

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.
