What is with theses eggs?

[BookWorm243]

I cracked some eggs that have black spots in them. I was wondering what the deal is with that. I have had some blood spots now and then, but never this. Also are these eggs fertile?

Thanks

eggs are fertile and those are blood spots or meat spots

It looks like they have a bullseye but its hard to see in the photo. Those are meat spots. They're harmless. Are they pullet eggs?

Sorry for the bad pictures my camera is on it's last legs. My girls are just under a year old. I thought they where fertile but was wondering because my rooster has been gone since January 6th, I did not know that eggs could be fertile for that long

I figured it was not going to harm us but some of the family was not convinced.

So I wanted to make sure. I was not sure if they where blood spots because they where so much darker than what I have seen from my eggs, but now I know.

Lots of times if you store the egg for a week or so the blood spot absorbs, and your family won't have anything to freak out about.

I asked because sometimes this happens with new layers. If that's the case, they usually straighten themselves out shortly.

Thanks everyone,
We had more girls but the Coyotes changed that quickly. So know with only two we go thru the eggs quicker than when we had more coming in. So they don't sit in the fridge as long, probably why we are noticing it more now
