Blood on shell

[Sparkway]

Hi all

I have three out of six hens that just started laying for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday and today an egg had what appears to be a bloody smear. I didnt see anything on their butts. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

This happened to me to when I first started chickens.
I think that the hens just probaly tear tissue while starting and getting into the routine of laying eggs.
I would not be worried about it!
