Hi Murphs

Welcome to the Hen House

How old are they? Sometimes this happens when they are first coming into lay

Have they got access to grit & oyster shell?

So long as the hens are running about as they should then I think they'll be fine

Some eggs are more tricky than others to push out

Is it a smear of blood or speckles.

Red mite can cause speckles I believe.

Hi - I had a similar experience with one hen this week. Significant amount of blood on egg on Saturday. Smallest amount on Sunday. I guess she is getting better. The blood was the only sign that the chicken was ill in any way.
