What does a red dot in a non-fertile egg mean?
Sometimes when eggs drop, there will be a slight tear before the shell forms. Store eggs don’t usually have red dots in them because they are older, and the red dot has been absorbed again by the yoke. 7. Is a red dot in an egg bad? No, some people don’t worry about it at all; others will spoon it out. It’s harmless. 8. How are the chickens at the Lazy H Ranch different from commercially raised chickens? Commercial chickens are in cages with artificial lighting to force the chickens to produce two eggs per day – rather than nature’s plan for one egg per day. Our chickens are free to roam in a fenced in area that protects them from outside predators. They are fed a vegetarian diet, based on the secret recipe of Joe Hurst of Hurst Ranch Feed in Jamestown, CA to ensure the health of the chickens and the nutritional value of their eggs. We have water misters to keep them cool in the summer, and heaters to keep them warm in the winter. Our chickens are not given any hormones or antibiotics.
