Blood on Egg?

[human1]

Thanks! I normally do a quick rinse with water and maybe a little scrub, our girls always get their eggs so dang dirty. Covered in dirt almost always for some reason, even when it is dry out.

do they maybe have dirt in their nesting box?

They might be tracking dirt in from outside. In hindsight I wish I put my nest boxes furthest away from the pop door (though that's only a few more feet) just so they wipe their feet off a little more while walking over the bedding. But generally because I keep the coop floor clean, the eggs come out fairly clean too.
