Why do brown eggs seem to have more blood/meat spots than white eggs?

[brummie]

Every single time, without fail, regardless of breed, I have noticed my brown eggs always seem to have more meat/blood/whatever-they-are spots in the inside white part of the egg. But my white eggs are almost always clean, no spots to be seen whether on the yolk or the white part.

The darker the egg gets the more spots it has. Once they are darker than light brown (around the RIR type egg) the spots start to become more apparent. Below light brown (tinted/cream/white) they gernerally seem to spot free.

My welsummer was the worst being the darkest egg layer. I don't even want to try marans becasue I fear their dark wggs will also have lots of meat/blood spots. My blue egg layers were as clean as my whites.

So is that just a coincedence with me, or is that normal, do brown eggs in general have more blood/meat spots than white ones?

I got more brown eggs than white but no blood spots or anything like that. Must be a coincidence with your flock?

I have noticed the same thing, it seems to be an individual hen thing. If I'm making deviled eggs I will use the lighter ones. If I'm making them for myself, I will use my Bantam eggs, never had any gook in them.
