Blood in poop or normal?

Hello Everyone,

 

We have some 12 week old Chantecler chickens and recently moved them to their new coop. I've noticed twice 2 different birds (each at different times) sitting in the coop and looking like they are resting/exhausted while all the others are out foraging for food. One time I went into the coop to get some food while one bird was doing this and it ran out and joined the others. The other time with the other bird I just watched and after 15-30 minutes it hopped up and went out and joined it's brothers and sisters. 

 

I thought that was kind of strange and then this morning when I went out to let the birds out and feed and water them I noticed 2 strange looking poops in the coop. Maybe they are normal, maybe they are not; hopefully someone will know. Here are some pictures:

and the chickens relaxing in the corner

I just read about ACV and will be adding that to their water using the 1 week on, 3 off method. 

 

Any insight would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks

Hi there,

 

To me, they look like the shedding of intestinal lining. But just to verify, here is the famous 'poop chart'. It is kind of gross, so hopefully you don't mind pics of chicken droppings. http://www.chat.allotment.org.uk/index.php?topic=17568.0

And as for the resting chickens, I can't help with that. Sorry idunno.gif

Thank you, that was very helpful. I was looking at a different poop chart this morning but I didn't see any clear pictures of the shed intestinal tract. It certainly looks like what it is, so no need to worry. Praise the Lord.

You're welcome :) I use that chart all the time.
