Chicken hard boiled eggs with a pink ring

[Chickens are family]

I have 9 chickens and a rooster which rome free during the day. I’ve had them for over 2 years. 2 days ago I boiled some eggs and when I cracked them open , they had pink rings in the yolk. Any ideas what this could be ? I boiled some more yesterday and the same problem. I am throwing them away but I want to fix the problem . Please help

Can you post photos? Do you have a broody hen? They could be blood rings from eggs your hen is tossing out and your picking up. The hen will toss out dead eggs, and often dead eggs early incubation will get blood rings.

How old are the eggs?

How old are the eggs? I ask on your other thread too - but toss the eggs.
Check them out before boiling them, store eggs properly.

Yes I have some broody chickens. I will boil some eggs and put pictures up ASAP. I just picked up those eggs the day before . I am located in Fallbrook Ca and it’s been warm but never had that issue even in 100 degree weather .

Are you getting these eggs form near the nest? I'm suspecting you're boiling dead embryos.

Without pics of suspect eggs it's all speculation.
How are you managing your broodies?

Here are eggs from yesterday .. I picked them up the very next day in the morning and stored in the fridge right away.. eggs look good prior to boiling them .
