I want to save some of these light blue eggs for possible incubation, but she lays most of them with this white stuff on them. It's not poop, is it ok for incubation?

YaIs it powdery?
Usually it won't-however, I have one hen that adds an extra layer of it to her eggs, and therefore they have a whitish coating. But here, I agree with @21hens-incharge - this looks more like a calcium deposit.I was thinking it might be "the bloom" but I think thats not supposed to show?
To me it looks like some Urates. I've had a few like that.I was thinking it might be "the bloom" but I think thats not supposed to show?
