Leeloo Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 One of my chickens has been laying eggs with blood spots off and on for over a month. At first I thought it was just a one time thing and no big deal, just a burst vessel near the ovum or something, but it keeps happening. This morning, I cracked open an egg that had two large blood spots in it. Is this typical or a cause for concern? Most of the information that I can find online says that it's not a problem, but one site said that it could be a sign that a hen is past her prime. I don't know how old she is since she was a second-hand hen! I swear she's grown since I've had her. I don't know if that means she wasn't full grown yet or if it's just because she's getting better food with me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I often find blood spots in my girls' eggs. I don't think it's anything to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
