Please help.

 

We have 2 chooks, Phyllis and Vera, who we decided in the last day to get a another one, Ethel. Who's not been welcomed with open arms by the 2, so we currently have the girls split up, but close, so they can get use to each other.

 

At about the same time, Phyllis has stopped laying, we didn't know if was darker days, starting to moult etc, but today when we looked at the chooks, we could see phyllis lay and egg, but it was just the yoke, with some discharge, and what looks like conjealed blood, and we can see a little blood on the feather around the vent.

 

If anyone could give us some advise, as we don't know if its stress, could it be shes starting to moult, can the eggs go like this? should we take her to vet?

 

eagerly waiting for feedback,

How long has she been laying? You can get odd eggs or softies until their laying settles down. Blood on eggs isn't that uncommon either but I would just keep an eye on her to make sure it's not happening a lot. Sometimes there's just no apparent reason for them not laying!
