Weird black ?

My thought is a blood clot or something similar.

It looks like your girl broke a blood vessel (or more than one). But she seems to be having egg quality issues in general.

Does this happen often? What are you feeding?

 

[Aunt Angus]

And how is her behavior otherwise? Is there ever blood on the outside of these eggs? Blood coming from her vent?

I have other questions, but I don't want to put them all in one post - haha!

they are fed with organic non gmo Modesto feed along with daily vegetables and fruits and they roam on my 20 acres land.

She’s very healthy and spoiled for treats

No blood outside of egg,it just this one hen from 700 other chickens

Sounds like a great life for a chicken!

She may need more calcium. And I'm wondering if she's got some sort of issue in her oviduct, like a developing infection. Something is causing all that blood. If it was just one or two eggs, I'd think it was just a stressor in her environment, like a spat with a flockmate or change in feed. But for it to be continuous for a 3-month period, I think something else is afoot.

And her shells are soft. I'm assuming she gets oyster shell? It may be that she's having a hard time passing the soft eggs and breaking blood vessels that way.

You might try giving her extra calcium directly for a week or so and see if that improves things.

Try the extra calcium. You can just get calcium tablets or use calcium gluconate.

When I first suspected that I gave everyone calcium tablets to everyone ,dairy low fat products first month but still nothing didn’t change with her.
