I think one of my salmon faverolle girls laid her first egg today (or at least the first I've seen). They're 6 months old. It is a pale cream color which I think I remember being the color of the eggs they were hatched from. Anyway, there was a small streak/smear of blood on it. Normal or cause for concern?
 
I have 32 pullets laying now, and have had the same blood smears on probably 15 eggs, so I think it just might be their first eggs.
 
Normal - It takes considerable stretching of the 'production line' to get that thing out. Generally this situation resolves rather rapidly.
 
Maybe they need some prep H?

Blood on the outside of an egg shell means the hen has popped a few blood vessels in the Vent. Not unusual with a young pullet. The egg produced may have been a bit larger than she normally produces and ruptured vessels on exit.
