.....was the bright red stuff inside the egg I cracked into my frying pan last night? The egg had all the usualy bits but in the white and all around the yoke was a red substance. I have no idea what it was. It is the one and only time it has happened and, touching lots of wood, none of the chickens seem unwell. Any ideas?

Maybe it was a bit of blood or "laying tackle" that had come free and got inside the egg.

If it happens again it might be worth trying to find out who laid it and checking her over.

Occasionally, the hen has a small internal rupture when the ovum is released - that's what causes this.

 

Just bin it.
