Yes it's me again with a close-up of a pile of chicken poop.

Is this just a whole lot of intestinal lining?

Is it something else? Or... is it cocci?

Looks like shed intestinal lining. Bloody poops are darker and there is no mistaking them for anything other than bloody poops.
 
I did not know they shed their intestinal lining. I am glad I read this before any of my girls started doing this. Before getting chicks this Spring, I read 5 different chicken books, and I don't recall any mention of such a scary looking dropping.
 
I'm glad I saw this, otherwise I might have thought something was wrong. How often does this occur?
 
This is what my hen just did as well. I was really alarmed! And then I came inside to check BYC. And now I have other questions! I am new to this chicken thing... Why do chickens shed their interestingly lining? Ewwww.....
