First egg with mucus and a little bit of blood

[Tslauson]

Hi! So my girls have just started laying. Last week was our first egg from one of our leghorns. 3 days ago we got our first beautiful small brown one from a RIR. Well yesterday I went down to check the egg boxes and was super excited to see 3 eggs. 1 white from a LH 1 brown for RIR and another one a little bit lighter brown but bigger then both the other eggs. When I picked it up there was a small crack on top with a strip of mucus with some blood. The color looked a little off too. It was light brown with white on it??? I don't know who laid it and what the mucus is?

Her body is getting used to being stretched so sometimes a bit of blood and lining comes too with new layers..

So this is normal?

Thanks so much! I was worried she may have hurt herself.
