Is this normal- bloody egg

[emptynesterMom]

Most of my hens have started to lay with out any problems, but today I found a fairly bloody egg. It was a different color than what I have been getting so I guess it was from someone new to laying. None of the others have had more than a smear of blood tinge but this was more. Everyone looks ok and is eating, drinking, and pooing with out any problem. Am I just being a "nervous Nelly"?

It happens. Most will be just a smear, but every now and then you will get one that pops a good vessel and covers the egg. As long as it doesn't continue you have nothing to worry about.
