They have more blood spots than "factory" style eggs so you end up throwing out more. If organic is important to you then that might not be a problem.

Organic is different than pasture raised

We’ve been using pasture raised for years. I think I’ve had one blood spot in that time and even then I’m not 100% sure. I do check the eggs of course but I haven’t had to throw out a bunch. It’s definitely worth making sure you know the difference between a protein and a blood spot though as I do see a lot of protein.

This is from meta AI:
Here are some well-known farms and brands that explicitly state their eggs are not fertilized:

# Organic and Pasture-Raised Farms
1. *Vital Farms*: This pasture-raised egg farm explicitly states that their eggs are not fertilized.
2. *Eggland's Best*: This organic and cage-free egg farm does not have roosters in their flocks, ensuring their eggs are not fertilized.
3. *Organic Valley*: This cooperative of organic farmers produces eggs that are not fertilized, as they do not keep roosters with their hens.

# Conventional Farms
1. *Cal-Maine Foods*: This large conventional egg producer states that their eggs are not fertilized, as they do not keep roosters in their flocks.
2. *Rose Acre Farms*: Another large conventional egg producer, Rose Acre Farms, also confirms that their eggs are not fertilized.

Please note that farming practices can change, and it's always a good idea to verify this information with the farm or brand directly if you have concerns.
