Bloody Chicken Egg Coating

[Wyorp Rock]

She has been laying for appriximately 2 months now. Vent is clear. Nomites, lice, blood or other signs of injuries. Not overweight. She is an average sized bantam silkie.

A few times out of a week. Not always THIS bloody, but definately blood.

Any stress? I may be worth separating her to see if the issue clears up.
Otherwise, chalk it up to a ruptured blood vessel every time she lays I suppose.

View attachment 1716695 First to respond to the original thread. I have had a couple of these as well through the years and it is mostly from the birds that have just started laying or they are straining but it normally clears up.
Now to anyone who knows the answer to this next situation feed back would
Be greatly appreciated. Now I have had chickens most of my life and have seen hundreds of soft shell eggs but I don’t ever remember seeing one quite like this one. Do I have a problem with one of my chickens?

@Gibbie I have seen that once with one of my ladies that would occassionally lay soft shelled eggs. The explanation in the the link below is as good as any I have seen.

As whether there is a problem...IF you see it from the same hen every time, then I would think there is a shell gland defect/disorder. Extra calcium for a few days may help to correct it. I would just monitor her. Even though we hope that we can remedy reproductive problems, it's not always the case, sadly.
