What do you think about bloody eggs like this? These 3 all came from the same hen. Sometimes it’s worse and the egg white is red. Is this something that can be cured or should I cull her from the breeding flock?

I've seen spots and red egg whites occasionally. It seems to be more common in dark egg laying breeds. I do not know the cause. I don't think there is a cure or anything you can do. I would not attempt to hatch if I had better choices.What do you think about bloody eggs like this? These 3 all came from the same hen. Sometimes it’s worse and the egg white is red.

Updated pics - They are definitely both Roos.Updated pics - they are about 4.5wks now, growing big and feathering out well. Both are friendly, but one definitely more inquisitive and always the first to greet me/jump out of the brooder to explore. Both have big combs, getting more pink but not really red yet. And one's comb is a little bigger/more pink bit just barely. I am really hoping they aren't both Roos but I am suspecting that they are. Anyone want to weigh in?
