It depends on what kind o breed it is. Different breeds lay different colors of eggs. Or you are just not feeding it well.

Small blood vessels can break as the egg travels down the oviduct of the hen. This is not cause for concern. Those speckles can be washed off the egg shell as they are not permanent.

The shell is produced in the chickens uterus where it remains for 20 to 26 hours. In the uterus, the egg gathers water and minerals including salts. Calcification of the shell takes place at this time and for most breeds of chicken the color of the shell is acquired in the uterus just prior to being released to the vagina. For some select breeds like Araucana the color is added to the shell in the Isthmus which is higher up in the oviduct than the uterus. When this happens the color of the shell is not just a layer of color but deposited throughout the shell.
