We got a roo a few days ago and all of a sudden, one of our hens has been laying eggs with blood spots in them and now is broody:/, she has never done this before and I am worried:(. The roo is 4 or 5 months old and the hen is 8 or 9 months. Please Help!

As I just mentioned in another thread, the roo is not directly the reason for the blood spots. The stress of adding the roo may have contributed to the blood spots.
You can read more about blood spots here:

There are plenty of tips here on BYC about breaking a broody. You can find them by using the search feature.
Good luck!
