Bloody Eggs!!??!!??

[BarnChickyOO]

Last night I talked to one of my customers, and she said that one of the eggs that she purchased from me had blood in it. Not just a spec, of a clump of tissue. A lot of it. Like real liquid blood.

We eat a lot of eggs, and have never seen this before. What is the cause of it, and should I be concerned?

Thank you so much!

Occasionally a hen will develop a 'glitch' in her reproductive tract and blood/meat spots or actual blood will occur. You could try candling the eggs and not selling any with problems. In commercial productions such eggs generally go for baking.
