Blood?  How old are they?  They could have cocci depending on their age.  I would keep an eye out and watch behaviors.  Have they ever been wormed?

Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?

You need to check out the poop chart.  They do pass a small amount of bloody looking poop its the shed of intestinal lining and it perfectly normal.  Its a big difference between this normal bloody shedding and bloody cocci poop which is not good.
