Sometimes as an egg passes it causes a small tear, or burst blood vessel in the hen's vent. It's more common with new layers and nothing to worry about, though it does look alarming. Examine your hen's vent for any signs of pecking or mites as well, as this could also cause bleeding.

yes that happens every once in awhile. if it continues to happen to every day then it could be a problem

A little blood now and again os normal. Sometimes when they are laying they might break a blood vessel. Not to worry unless it happens often or if their is a larger amount of blood.
