I had an egg yesterday, exactly the same, double yolk, one broken, lots of blood, thin shell. Today she laid a normal egg but found her sitting on the other chickens egg too although it is only a few weeks since I stopped her brooding, i hope she isnt doing that again???so this happened today. This was an egg from 3 days ago. Yesterday she didn't lay. Today's is perfectly fine!
My hen laid a egg today but she is afraid to sit on egg please help me to take care of hen and egg
I have had three eggs from the same hen that are bloody, bloody not just a spot. They are freshly laid eggs. How can I prevent this.Yes, that comment about a scared hen is just bogus.
When you say bloody, how bloody do you mean? A red spot on the yolk was probably caused by a broken blood vessel while the egg is being formed, and the egg can be safely eaten. A red spot in the white, or a "meat spot" was caused by sloughing off of some reproductive tissue--kinda gross, but totally safe to eat.
Now I have had one egg that was BLOODY-bloody and it was my own fault--I'd found an egg hidden in the shavings below the nest boxes, and assumed it was freshly laid. Apparently not, since the embryo had started to develop. This was during the 100+ degree days of summer. EWWWW
