OK, when I went in to check for eggs today I noticed the only egg in there (they have slowed down due to shorter days, etc. So, I get like 8-10 eggs a day.) was bloodied.

It's the first time I have noticed any eggs be that bloody!

From time to time...I do seet some blood smeared on one here and there...like once a month or so...but not as much as I saw on this one. Ugh! Again, this is not a common thing...it's sporadic in that it happens every once a month or so!

Should I worry? I regularly dust with DE. I heard that it could be a sign of mites but I don't see any on them. I will check again tonight...is it normal for eggs to be bloody...every ONCE in a while?

It happens sometimes and usually is not serious. You could always check your hens vents to be sure that one is not bleeding from an egg that broke inside or other serious injury.
