Today when I was collecting my eggs I noticed a small amount of blood in one of the nesting boxes with an egg in it. I gave an overview of my girls and they were acting normal, and I didn't see any blood on any of them... but I didn't look realllyy hard. Just wondering if chickens ever bleed when laying an egg? Sounds kind of gruesome, but some of these eggs are HUGE!

Yes they can bleed. Normally with younger ones starting out or older ones but they all can.
