blood in egg white

[JoseyJo]

Hello,
We have 3 chickens and they've laid brilliantly since we got them 3 months ago. Last week one of the eggs had a blob (about large pea size) of blood within the egg white of an egg. I've found on the net about blood spots in eggs being normal - but it sounded as though they are usually in the yolk. The yolk of this one was fine. Any ideas ??
Thanks, Jo

It's nothing to worry about Jo, it happens from time to time.
Just remember that an egg would be a chick embryo if it were fertile, so not surprising really.

Sorry if I put anyone off their breakfast

Thanks, that's good to know.
