Hi chicken folks
My Easter egger laid her first egg of the season and it was extremely bloody inside. The whole white was dark red and there was a large gooey red lump in it as shown in the image. The egg itself was oddly shaped, oblong, and had a streak of different color on the shell.
I've seen plenty of meat spots in my day but this is beyond that. The chicken is not acting any different and appears happy and healthy. We did have a series of storms that may have stressed the flock. Anyone ever seen one like this? Is it a concern or just a super large blood vessel?
