Egg: Blood, Yolk not formed, and cloudy stringy whites

When you candle the hatchling eggs, is that lighting up with a flashlight in the dark to try to see through it. I have checked this way when I am not sure about some.

I have been watching my eggs carefully I had a several dozen in my frig. They were less than two weeks and I know one set was only a few days. When opened about 10 out of 3 dozen were very runny with the yoke light and pure liquid, no substance at all. Some had veiny blood in them as well. So the last few days I have been candling them to see if I can predetermine which might be bad. Two dozen gathered, about 8 didn't look clear at candling. When opened 5 of the 8 were watery and bloody. At most these were 20 hours old. Can a hen sitting develop them that fast? Or can this be an illness? I have resorted to candling every day just to be sure. I have tried to look for pictures but they only show the development after 8 days, nothing that shows bad eggs in the first few days. Any other help would be appreciated.

Did you ever find out the answer to this problem? The exact same thing is happening to me.

The same thing is happening to us. We have the same conditions too... 1 broody hen in our flock, hot days. Eggs do not smell and are not old. What could it be? Please help!
