blood streaks on the yolk

[chick-lit]

I have five hens and they have been laying great this winter but I have noticed that over the last few months I have been a getting an egg that has quite a bit of blood in the yolk this blood is bright red.. I was wondering if anyone has had this before. I have gotten about five or so eggs like this.

I had a blood streak across the yolk
and a bloody yolk from my australorp "annie"
when she was a year old.
I dont know the cause,
and it hasent happened for year.
tho her eggs whites apear watery,and thinner
than the others.
I would like to know what is causing that also.
when I give eggs to my friends and family
I keep hers to myself.

if you have a rooster might it be a fertilized egg? and your seeing the spot where its germinating?
