Egg Lou Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Today was our first "full house" for egg laying with Porsche finally laying her first egg. One of the eggs had blood smeared on so presumed her's as first time.. Is this common? I have checked her vent and all looks fine so just presume she bled a little during the lay.. anyone else had this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms Tilytinkle Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hello EggLou Yes my speckled lays an egg speckled in blood every time she lays!! I have tried to stop her from laying, to heal but still she lays a speckled egg. She is fine, lays same as other no stress noticed. Her vent & everything appear fine.

chickencam Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 One of my Pepperpots lays eggs with blood smears sometimes, don't worry if her vent seems fine it is probably just a small blood vessel that is a bit weak. Mine hasn't done it for a while despite now laying eggs that are 85g+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Lou Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Thanks both! She layed her 2nd egg yesterday and this didn't have any blood although the egg was very "gunky".. she just must be having a harder time getting used to the whole process as her vent all looks fine still.. my others all started laying very cleanly hence concerned so than you for the reassurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
