Hello. I have 3 barred Rocks that are a little over 1yr old and when I went out to collect eggs this afternoon, there was bright red blood all over the shells of the eggs (I think there were 3-4 eggs), some blood on the hay and nest box as well. I have read another person's post on her hen having blood on the shells of the eggs and the hen's vent, but I examined my hens and found nothing. Someone mentioned possible prolapse to her, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary on my hens and non of them had blood on their feathers or feet. All 3 of them have been acting normal routine today. Does anyone have any info/advice they can share? I'm not sure if this is something that happens once in a while or if I should be worried. I'll try to post back tomorrow if it happens again or I find anything new. Thank you kindly.
