Red Crumbs in Egg

Question

After placing 3 egg yolks (orange) in a bowl, we saw 3 hard red crumbs on the yolks.

Answer

Hello 

You can remove the crumbs, and if no red remains in the egg, it is permissible to eat the rest. 

Usually, these are crumbs that are 'brown' rather than red, and they are dirt formed during the creation of the egg, not from the egg itself.
