Ok, so Roopert is not to blame.
Do you have any idea what it is? And your saying that its normal, nothing to be worried about?
So i dont have to de-worm or watch carefully?

I've been getting eggs from my pullets for 4 plus months and I get 1 of those bloody eggs every once in a while, maybe 5 times from all 31 layers. I have been asking those who I share eggs with to report it to me if they notice any. Seems like maybe the same welsummer, but still unsure if it is only 1.

Hmm

So it could only be one hen then with the problem?

It happens when a blood vessel breaks when the egg is being developed in the ovaduct. You don't usually see that in grocery store eggs because they shine a bright light through them to check that and reject those eggs, (which they go ahead and put in cooking products instead).

I get blood spots in my dark brown eggs sometimes. It's not harmful, just kind of gross.

Absolutely nothing to worry about unless it's a frequent thing. Gross, yeah, I guess so

, but then we're talking about something that comes out of a chicken's butt, anyway.

Very true! As long as its not harmful to my hens!

Yes, it's not anything to worry about, just a glitch, busted blood vessel.

I've read this can happen. Nothing to do about it, hopefully it won't happen again.
