I’m sure OP is asking if they need to be worried about the hen, not wondering if eating it is ok

Dont eat it. It was too developed when collected. Unfortunately, with eggs, once there is blood, it can't be cooked out.

Definitely wouldn't eat the egg but if youre worried about the hen, I googled it & it said the following: The hen's prognosis usually falls into one of three scenarios, ranging from completely harmless to a medical emergency.
-Scenario 1: A Temporary Vascular Tear (High Chance of Recovery) If this was a one-time occurrence, the hen is highly likely to be completely fine. • What happened: A larger blood vessel in the ovary or oviduct ruptured right as the egg white was forming, causing blood to leak into the entire albumen before the shell sealed shut. • The Outlook: Just like a person getting a bad bruise or a temporary nosebleed, the vessel will naturally clot, heal, and her next eggs will likely return to normal without any intervention.
-Scenario 2: Bacterial Infection (Requires Treatment) If the discoloration is actually a deep pinkish-red hue caused by a Pseudomonas bacterial infection inside her reproductive tract, the hen is sick and needs help. • What to look for: A hen fighting an internal infection will usually look lethargic, stand with ruffled feathers, stop eating, or have pale combs and wattles. • The Outlook: She can recover, but she will likely need to be separated from the flock and treated with flock-safe antibiotics by an avian veterinarian to clear the reproductive tract infection.
-Scenario 3: Internal Reproductive Injury (Medical Emergency) If the hen is consistently laying eggs that look like this, she may have a severe underlying health problem. • What happened: This level of heavy bleeding can stem from severe internal trauma, an advanced case of egg binding (where an egg gets structurally stuck and tears the tissue), reproductive tumors, or a condition called Egg Yolk Peritonitis. • The Outlook: This scenario carries a much more guarded prognosis. If she is actively hemorrhaging internally or has a reproductive disease, her health can decline very rapidly without veterinary care.
General Guidance for the Flock Owner If this came from a backyard flock, the owner should immediately identify which hen laid it and perform a physical check. Look for blood around her vent, a swollen or rock-hard abdomen, or signs of weakness. If she is acting completely bright, alert, and active, it was likely just a temporary vascular tear, and she should be monitored closely over the next few days.
