Hello,
here's my question:
My 7 mos old, frizzle bantam hen started laying eggs, Jan 1/09.
She is laying every 2nd day.
Just today, in her little nest, I picked up her egg, and there was blood on the shell.
She is fine in every other way....no strange or sickly behaviour.
Is this just normal? Does it simply happen sometimes.
I did have chickens many yrs ago, and have never seen blood on the outside of the shell before.
Much thanks for any thoughts.
