Blood spots on the yolk are not uncommon, even large one's , they are unappetizing but harmless to both the chicken and the cook. Blood covered yolk would mean an egg has been partially incubated and is unusable.

As for the egg shell itself. Blood on the outside of an egg shell means the hen has popped a few blood vessels in the Vent. Not unusual with a young pullet. The egg produced may have been a bit larger than she normally produces and ruptured vessels on exit. It is usually not a problem unless she continues to bleed long after laying the egg. If you can identify the hen that laid the egg you can ease things for her with a daily application of lubricant, even a little veggie oil will help her pass the egg cleanly. You will however need to make sure some of the oil gets into the vent about 1/2 inch inside. She will fuss and protest and it will take one person to hold her and one to administer the lubricant. You can dispense with this if the hen is indeed very young as it will correct itself within a few days. Remember to boost calcium and protein for these birds to encourage proper egg formation.

What does chicken-versus-egg mean?

I think it means this:"Which came first,chicken or egg?".


Who came first egg or chicken scientifically?

The egg, 1st of all because there were eggs long before birds, but if you mean a chicken's egg then it is still the egg. This is because when a new species evolves, the egg is say, given birth to a sub-chicken, and the new species (chicken) is inside the egg, which is techically now a chicken's egg.

What does it mean to argue the chicken-or-egg?

Was it the chicken or the egg?

It all depends on the question. If you mean, which comes first, then, according to all scientific knowledge on evolution, the egg came first. There had to be a progenitor species that laid an egg. And that egg incurred a small mutation that resulted in a new species equivalent to the chicken. Then, the new chicken species hatched from the egg.
