Bloody Yolks

[CloneFly]

Hello,
I went to cook some of my girl's fresh eggs and there was one that was pretty bloody... (see attached image)

Is this something I should be concerned about? She has been laying for about 2-3 months. We do have a juv male goose but he's pretty good around the girls and hasn't mounted them to my knowledge. Just want to make sure my girls are healthy.

(No photo, so I don't know how bad it was, but) not unusual to see blood spots or other inclusions in an egg from time to time. Unless it's a regular thing I wouldn't worry about it.

Ooops, sorry!

looks to me like you ate a fertile egg!
It's ok. I have done the same so many times. don't worry. it's fine.

Blood doesn't mean fertile. A bullseye on the yolk does.

For most these don't seem appetizing, but they're edible. I've eaten plenty.

I don't have any roosters though

The goose is the only male in their enclosure

The video will explain why there's blood.

Is this a freshly cracked open egg or a partially cooked one?
