not sure which hen this is from, but I’ve never seen this. Any ideas would be helpful.
Is this alarming?!!!

As long as the hen isn’t bleeding... it happens some times. I haven’t seen them that bad but sometime a vessel ruptures and the egg get some blood on it.
Yeah I’ve never seen it all over like this. As I mentioned not sure which hen it is but are there vents seem normal.
And all my girls seem happy
Thanks for your response
 
I've had it happen every so often. Usually with either new layers or my 'old ladies'. As long as your girls seem to be acting normal and nobody is bleeding from their vent, I don't think I would worry too much unless it keeps happening.

I’ve double checked vents... and all are healthy. I did notice that one of my Delaware’s skin seemed Red and irritated. I want to take a picture tomorrow and post. Not sure it’s dry poop that’s irritating the skin.
 
@chrissynemetz @aart so just found another bloody egg this am, and I just checked hens and I found which it was. And this was the alarming vent! what do I do?!!! :( I just cleaned it but it was a poopy bloody mess. She seems fine and crop feels good
