ok, thank you! i had been searching, but for the wrong thing! i think it was just intestinal lining (i had been searching blood clots), but it sure seemed like a lot. i have been checking on them all morning and they all seem just fine. whew! no one told me having chickens would be so stressful
i went to collect eggs this morning and noticed some blood in the nesting box. upon further inspection i found what looks to be a blood clot (?) about the size of a golf ball under their roost. it's not liquid, more meaty i guess. sorry for the graphic description. all of my birds appear fine...
