    Spotting on eggs?

    Any idea why this occurs?

    We got a clutch 2 days ago and now they appear to have more "spots" then before.. Maybe I was too excited the first time to pay attention but my wife and I both agree.. Good ? Bad? Does it matter? They are all very healthy and very veiny! Just wanted some more insight on why this Happens..

    Spotting on eggs?

    I had a clutch that did this last year. Made candling them a bit challenging but they all hatched out just fine. I think I read somewhere that it has to do with the amount of calcium the female gets. I could be wrong on that though.
