I have a bantam orpington who just started laying. She is smaller than her sisters who started laying over 3 months ago. I attribute the size difference and late start to a sickness she had when she was younger. She is fine now. Very active, eating well, etc.
She has laid 2 eggs so far and both of them were covered with quite a bit of blood. Not drippy, but smeared all over the egg.
I didn't panic the first time because I figured the first egg might cause a bit of a problem. When her second egg was bloody I thought I should at least ask you guys. None of my other girls have ever had blood on their eggs even when first starting out. So, should I worry? Is it a problem? If so, what should I do about it?
