Is it normal for an egg to have a bit of blood on it?

My lovely girl started laying about 2 weeks ago, today the egg was slightly larger than usual and there was a bit of blood smeared on it, is this normal, if not what could it be?

If you have a cockerel, yes.

Blood spots are caused by the rupture of a blood vessel in the egg production mechanism. It is not unusual and is nothing to worry about. I just remove the blood (or mead spot) and use it as normal. It will happen to hens who don't have a cockerel too :roll:
