Hi there, it's been a good while since I've posted on this forum…
My hens have been doing wonderfully, up until now.. I have 10 hens, all laying an egg a day usually with the occasional day off. They free range during the day, and put themselves to bed at night and I close them in until morning. I don't believe there's been an trauma to this hen, and she's acting perfectly normal now (comes running at light speed if she thinks I have treats, pecking around in the grass with the others..) I did flip her over and she did have a little blood on her vent and some on her tail feathers but I didn't see any wounds, or anything angry looking. However, this egg certainly doesn't look normal. My hen is going on 2 years old, and has been laying for a good while now… I've never had any issues with blood on eggs other than the occasional spot or two if it where a particularly large egg.. this is was on the smaller side for my girls. She's a red sex link if breed matters.
Anyone have this happen before, I'm worried about my lovely lady.
