Soft shelled egg with blood inside

[MedusaSnake]

A soft shelled egg was just laid by one of my blue laced wynadottes and I found that it was mixed with blood. Sorry, there was some bedding that got stuck with it in the picture below. I never seen this happen beforehand, but any ideas on what it could be? I should also add that the blood isn’t runny, and mostly sticks to the shell.

Monitoring her for the moment. As of right now, she’s being a normal chicken and eating well, along with digging around. She seemed excited to be let outside too.

If she's acting normal, eating/drinking, etc. I'd just keep a watch on her.

The egg may have had some Follicle in it or sometimes tiny blood vessels rupture during they process.

Is she a new layer?
What do you feed, including treats? Provide Oyster shell free choice?

She’s been laying for a while now. I think this year she should be at least 4.
I give them crumble feed, oats, and have recently been giving some boiled egg to them too. They also enjoy getting some crushed eggshell, but I don’t do oyster shell. Sometimes they get let out to forage for bugs/grass and the like, and the rest of their diet consists of leftover greens my family doesn’t consume, with occasional corn too.

Sounds good!
I'd mark it up as Glitch. Sometimes odd things happen.
