Should I be worried?

18 years ago

I'm relatively new with chickens. We've had ours under a year. We only have 3, two hens and a rooster. Lately, the chickens are starting to lay eggs again but there is a spot of blood on the outside of the egg. Should I be worried. I get about 1 egg per day.

Ellen,
I think Velvet Sparrow answered a similar question, and the answer was that a spot of blood is normal. However, why not post this question on the Farm Life Forum, where you would get more exposure and more opinions? Or, you could do a search on the Farm Life Forum for "blood on eggs" and see what comes up. I envy you your eggs, however. My girls are too young yet to lay, but we are looking forward to that first egg!
