White speckled eggs

[Curious new chickey momma]

Hi, hope everyone is enjoying your weekend. I just have a question. My chicks are 8 months old & have been laying for a few months with no issues. Today I got this egg with white speckles on it. I'm thinking maybe calcium?? Plz let me know what you think. I appreciate it.

It is just a different type of calcium deposit, the hen must have been interrupted while laying

Thank you. It's nothing to worry about, right?

No, it’s pretty normal. Happens once in a while in my flock also

Hard to tell from pic what is making the speckles.

'Speckled' eggs can happen for several different reasons...very few, if any, of which are a 'problem'.
Can be caused by:
Excess or uneven pigment coating.
Excess or uneven cuticle(bloom).
Excess calcium deposits.
Porous eggs can appear speckled.
Some birds lay them consistently, some only once in awhile.
The pigment or bloom can change appearance when wet, then change back when dry again.

As long as bird is getting a good diet and is healthy in every other way, it is no cause for concern.
