first and foremost, I’m devastated. One of our hens died when we were away; I’m gutted. I loved her. Not a predator this time, she died on her nest box. I can only hope she went painlessly. 
To make this even more disturbing, my mom cracked an egg today that we assume was from the dead hen; the white was entirely red and bloody. I didn’t get a picture before she threw it out, but the white was all blood.
My other two chickens appear happy and healthy with good appetites. What was the cause of this bloody egg? And are my other hens in danger?
Help, advice, emotional support, etc all appreciated.
