Dirty vent and bloody eggs

[naturemom]

My salmon faverolle hen recently started laying eggs with little streaks of blood on them. I didn't worry about it because I know that normally happens once in a while. I've seen it before with my other hens.
The trouble is, now she's laying really bloody eggs, to the point where it's getting on other eggs in the nestbox and on the shavings. I also just noticed that her vent is really poopy.
She is acting normal, eating, active, etc. All the other hens are fine.
Does anyone know what this might be and what I can do for her?

I don't know what it might be, but I'd give her a bit of a bath and see if there is some bigger issue with her vent.

If you get her really wet, blow her dry with a hair dryer set low and moved back & forth frequently.
Chickens are much easier to bathe than most dogs & cats, they seem to love it. And the dryer part, too.
