EEEEWWWWW! What is this inside this egg? Calcium, grit, insect eggs?

I had something similar happen just last night I opened an egg and in the white right by the yolk there was a little red thing I picked it out and it was hard when I smooshed it, it had those white balls is it calcium deposits as well? Is it a bad thing? I'm a little flipped out I was thinking worm eggs

I read the previous posts. But what about these eggs? One in the white bowl appears to have grit in it, and the other one just has that brown glob.
I've seen that a few times since raising these new hens, but I've not seen the grit.

Yeah, I'm with you! I scrambled them up and fed them to the chickens.
I'm wondering if this is because they're new layers. They're 21 weeks old, however I have 5 different breeds, so some have been laying longer than others.
We've never had this happen to the larger double-yoked eggs.

Was it actually gritty...did you touch it?
Blood and meat spots are not that uncommon....they may look bad, but are edible.

It was difficult to press them against the bowl as they would move from under my finger, but I did feel some sort of texture difference. Once I scrambled the eggs I couldn't find any of these spots or pieces. I thought examining them after cooking would help determine what they were. If I see them again I'll separate them from the yolk and cook them to see they actually are foreign pieces.
So, for my clarity, on 1 egg there were a meat or blood spot and on the other egg, it had the tiny gray grit looking pieces. And its the grit pieces I should only be concerned about?

Yeah, they are hard to get out.
The grit looking stuff could have been tiny blood spots...or could have been excess calcium. I wouldn't worry too much about either, nothing to be done really.

Oh yes! Since we have young hens who have just started laying, we get a few tiny eggs, Addi I've been scrambling them up & feeding the hens eggs. They love it!
