Blood around unfertilized egg

[Top Rooster]

I was cracking eggs when one of them came out with blood in the egg white but not the yolk, does anyone know why my hen laid an egg with blood in it? It wasn’t a super large egg or anything it was just an average sized agh so it wasn’t a size problem. I have no roosters so that rules out a developing embryo.

Blood is from ruptured blood vessels. Generally I see them more after a commotion in the chicken coop, especially when I'm trying to catch one for some reason. Hens getting knocked around can cause it.
