Meat spots?

the little dark spots when you crack and egg. Last year I had 2 eggs that I could see a dark spot when I candled them. it never grew so I pulled them and cracked them and that what was there (always heard them referred to as meat spots when someone asks what they are). This egg looked the same way, I happened to peek at this one on day 2 and it had it and it still looked the exact same and the yolk was still glowing so figure it was doing nothing and since I had 24 still in there and I am tired of hand turning I took it out so only have 1 stacked.....

it is probably the same thing just called 2 different things? LOL I have heard both things said but not sure what the difference is? maybe if one is red and one is darker? haahaa! hmm I may have to research that and see if they are different things......

Meat spots are most commonly found in the egg white and typically formed from pieces of tissue picked up by the egg when passing through the oviduct. Blood spots are usually found in egg yolks and occur due to ruptured blood vessels in the hen's ovaries or oviduct.


There ya go from google. So not sure which one it is. It is just a piece I see floating around in the egg. LMAO!!!!!!
