Most of the commercially available eggs on the market don't have blood
specks because the chickens that laid them have never seen, much less
been covered by, a rooster.

Brown eggs tend to have more brown spots in them (they are not blood)
because it is more difficult to candle them than white eggs.

That said, I do pick out the brown spots when I crack an egg open.
