Bloody egg

[darlingdarla]

my pullets are just starting to lay, this one started about a month ago, she's been laying an egg at least four to five times a week so far. today i went out to lock up the coop and collect eggs and found a bloody egg in the box. i checked her vent and there was no visible blood or anything else out of place. i'm not super concerned, she seems alright i'm just wondering if this could mean a future prolapse or other laying issues. i don't have any experience with pullets just starting to lay, the rest of my flock came into my care as adults.
thanks in advance.

Sometimes tissue tears on new layers or hens resuming after a break. It usually is nothing to worry about.

So glad to read this! My girls began laying about 2 months ago. Two days ago there was one bloody egg and today another. I’m assuming from the same pullet? I have 11, all the same age and relatively new layers. I was thinking it might be a broken blood vessel. All eggs are very clean other than that. I took a pic I’ll include. What do you think?

That's a bit more blood than I have personally seen. It's probably still okay. If possible I would check all their vents for wounds to be on the safe side.
