When gathering eggs I had noticed that there has been a lot of blood on them. I have some new layers and I know this is common for first timers but this hasn't stopped. I don't get them everytime but often enough. I noticed the other evening that one of my white leghorns butt is all bloody. There don't appear to be any feathers missing so I really don't think she has been pecked to cause it. Any suggestions on what it might be? Is she just still young enough that this is normal?
Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
