So she is bleeding from her vent opening? My first thought, if you don't see any wound on the outside, is that she is egg bound or had an egg crack inside her and it scratched her. I have not personally dealt with an egg bound hen, so do a search on "egg bound " and you will find out if that sounds like what you are dealing with. Another thing if you see any skin protruding from her vent, she could have a prolapse, but blood is not commonly associated with that.

she had already layed an egg which wasnt cracked or anything just bloody

How much blood? Just a bloody egg, or dripping blood? Occasionally I get a bloody egg from a new laying hen...but nothing to worry about. Sometimes the egg is just a bit too big for the hen.

a lot of blood there was quite a lot of blood on straw and her bottem which we cleaned but was still bleeding and she does lay unuseal large eggs

hhmmm.... Ikd I wish I knew. I hope she stops bleeding. Maybe there is a tear on her vent lining.
Good Luck!
