Oh ok. I do believe she's straining too much to get the egg out, and she bursts a vein or two.She lays about twice a week
I know it's awful isn't it!Oh ok. I do believe she's straining too much to get the egg out, and she bursts a vein or two.
I wouldn't worry too much. Young layers need time to get their systems working correctly. Blood streaks happen sometimes with large eggs, and pullets are known for double yolks and odd size eggs. She doesnt look prolapsed and I don't see any sign of pecking. Make sure she has free choice oyster shells, as the calcium helps with strong contractions to push the egg out.And here's her vent - I'm pulling it apart a little bit so you can see it!

Yes. Have free choice OS and grit available for those that need it. Hopefully her reproductive system will work the kinks out soon.Oh ok - put her on growers pellets but let her have oyster shell?

Yes it is blood - I think because the pic was taken in artificial light it looks like that.Egg smear doesn't look like blood?
Maybe it's dried and just an unclear pic.
Are all her eggs bloody?
Vent looks fine too.
Not sure why folks are saying to stop calcium.
