Blood in eggs

[Joe Pet]

We have four hens. Great girls they're. We cracked an egg tonight and there was some blood in it. To hens are the same breed so we know which one it could be. Thanks for the help in advance.

Sometimes hens have a little hiccup in the egg laying system and a little bit of the internal lining of the oviduct gets sloughed off and ends up packaged in the egg. It's nothing to worry about unless it becomes great in quantity (tons of blood in egg)

What they said^^^...or a blood vessel breaks when the ova is released leaving a little red spot in the egg.

If it happens again, take pic to help us diagnose.
