Bloody Egg

[beth1004]

Hey,

Hope all of you are doing well. We are having some fall days here in north Georgia and are loving it. My husband brought in an egg from one of my Ameracuanas and it has blood smeared on it. I haven't ever had that happen. I'm going to go out and try and check her. Is this a concern? What should I look for? As far as I know, only 1 of the 4 are laying so far.

thanks in advance for any information!!

Hugs!!

A blood smear on the egg of a new layer can be common. Here is a good article about the many common egg problems:

It happened to my hens too when they first started laying. Totally natural!
