Thanks for verifying their age!!! I had no idea, they seemed quite "fluffy" to me (I'd say fatty, but am being polite). Seller told me they are from June and they were laying a few eggs here and there, until winter put them off. We shall see how they look in person.
I am going to pick them up...
My chickens (1 year old) were on
Sulfadimethoxinum natrium due to blood in stool. There has been no more blood since they stopped it, but every day since I have seen 1 or 2 poops in their coop per day that has some stringy/wormy parts. I looked at poo photos here and on other websites, but mine...

Thanks for answering eggcesive and akrnaf2. I will keep a look for reocurrence of bloody poop...
I am definitely interested in what people have to say about this! I never had chickens before and would like to know what they can have as immunity booster, herbs against moties and other tricks.
The only thing I found so far is Braggs against parasites.
Thanks. We called the vet just after I posted this and he thought the same. I got some powder that they will drink for the next 5 days. I also ordered Braggs to give them in their water afterwards.
Its just that the vet didn't perform any tests, didn't even see the poop or the chickens so how...
We got 4 speckled sussex hens and a rooster a week ago. They are 1 year old. They were kept in a large run at the sellers place and they were not vaccinated. At our place they free range. Anyways, yesterday morning I let them out i noticed there was one poop in their coop that had red in it...
