Several factors can increase the likelihood of blood spots:
-
Genetics: Some breeds of hens are more prone to them.
-
Age: Both very young hens (just starting to lay) and older hens (near the end of their laying cycle) are more likely to produce eggs with spots.
-
Diet: Deficiencies in vitamins like vitamin A or vitamin K can affect vascular strength.
-
Stress: Environmental stressors can sometimes play a role.
-
Random Chance: Often, it’s simply a minor, natural occurrence with no underlying health issue in the hen.
