IS there a way to fix blood spots?

[cutlass1972]

A lot of our egg buyers keep Kosher, so they will not eat an egg with a blood spot. Is there a way to prevent getting blood spots in our eggs? I have read that applying a little fish oil and vitamin A to some mash can clear this up? Can anyone speak from experience in this arena?

Blood spots may be triggered by too little vitamin A in a hen's diet, or they may be hereditary. Try adding a small amount of codliver oil to their food. If you give them treats, the following also contain vitamin A.

Sweet potatoes
Canteloupe
Spinach
Carrots
Butter nut squash

I've always known this "blood spot" as part of the laying system. As the egg gets older, the spot fades. It is not a baby chick. I could be wrong, but that is what I've always known.
