Bloody egg 🙁

[Jodeekep]

Hi my momma hen laid her third egg and it’s bloody. I don’t know what’s wrong. Is there anything I can do to help ? *Pic of momma hen and her egg she laid today*

Is this her third egg after raising chicks?
Just a slight blood vessel rupture, she'll be fine.

Yes her chicks are 7 weeks.

Ok, just her body working out the glitches.

It happens often, don't worry.

If it continues though, you may have more on your hands than just a ruptured blood vessel. Those occur from the hen straining to lay. But if you start getting more of those eggs, then it's definitely worth investigating further.
