Chicken keeps laying eggs with blood on them.

Recommended Posts

Hi All

I have 6 chickens, all different sorts each with their own quirky traits (love them).

For the last week or 2 my cream legbar "Sunny" has laid eggs which have blood smeared on the outside of them.

At first I had thought this might be because one of my other hens is broody and, (as I am sure happens with most people) all the chickens decide to lay their eggs in the box where she is. Thus causing upset and arguements and I thought maybe Sunny was trying to get her egg out quickly which made her strain and hurt herself = blood on the egg????

I have now seperated the broody chicken, and we have had an egg from Sunny today which didnt have as much blood as before.

I will wait for another couple of days to see how she gets on but I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else and what treatment it required etc.

She is otherwise fit and healthy.

Thanks in advance
