Blood On Eggs

Featured Replies

Posted

I have a first timer hen breeding for me. She's laid her second egg today but there is blood on the end (the thicker end)

 

I'm just wondering if this is okay or very bad. Its not something I see regularly in breeding posts.

 

They get a constant supply of vitamins as well as hulled oats.

You will see it occasionally. Just watch her to be sure the bleeding doesnt continue past the egg laying. I dont know if there's anything you can do really. Check the eggs for signs of rough shells to look for a cause. If none its just one of those things.

I have had a few like that, I think they just strain to get the egg out, more time out none they are large eggs.

I have a young hen yesterday that she laid her first egg on the floor and it was huge and blood all over it but she looks fine, I am closely watching her for her next egg tomorrow. But up till now I have found it is nothing to worry about.

I've had a little blood too. I agree with the others... watch her but don't be too worried.
