My mom and dad used to butcher chickens when we lived in the German countryside and we would eat the ones that had red in them. So I got concerned aboutt he other answers and looked it up for you and found this. I hope it answers your question.
Believe it or not, a bright red Blood spot would also indicate a fresh egg. Though very rare, less than 1% of all eggs have blood spots, they usually occur from a rupture of a blood vessel on the surface of the yolk follicle. The blood spot can be removed for aesthetics; a blood spot does not make the egg inedible. However, eggs with blood spots are not kosher. This is because blood spots can also occur due to fertilization. Of course, most hens nowadays are not allowed anywhere near a rooster so fertilization is an impossibility in today's eggs, but religion dictates that we toss the egg with the blood spot. The laws of Kashrut do not dictate white eggs over brown or other color eggs, just that it not be a fertilized egg. Some people believe that there are more blood spots in brown eggs than white eggs because they mistakenly think that a naturally occurring brown coloration in the brown egg is a blood spot and it is not. The laws of kashrut are clear that it is the red blood spot that is not allowed for fear of fertilization and that brown spots can be ignored.

That is a fertilized egg that was growing an embryo.
If it was not fertilized it would not develop an embryo no matter how long a chicken sat on it. In modern chicken farms eggs don't sit there for a long time. They are collected automatically as soon as they come out and roll down a channel in the cage.

That is a little dot of blood, if the egg had been allowed to hatch, that is where the embryo of the chick would start, kind of gross when you think a bout. But it's OK to eat the egg, won't harm you.

It means the egg was fertilized and was in the process of developing but stopped for some reason. If the egg is not kept warm and allowed to incubate the development will stop.

It means that the egg was fertilized by a rooster. It may not develop into a chick, but it could have if allowed to incubate.
Unfertilized eggs never have the red in them. The red is blood.

Could it be blood or a vein from the chicken that never got a chance to develop? I dunno.....just guessing.

maybe that they left the egg sitting too long before they got it and it was starting to produce a baby chick?that would be my guess.
