this is new. The girls have been outside in the coop and run now for a week. They are medicated grow starter now, but weren't prior. Any advise will be welcomed.

I would be -pretty worried about Coccidiosis.

Do you have Corid on hand you could start them on?

Any other symptoms in the birds, like lethargy and fluffed up feathers?

What age are they?

I could be wrong of course, but I don't think it would hurt.

I am off for the night (around 10:30 pm here) but hopefully some more experts will be able to help in the morning.

Is it for sure blood? My experiences blood usually is darker / black / tarrish, unless its from lower region and then should darken as it oxidezes. Am wondering if they got into some berries or something and it's not to be worried about?

Are they pooping this time and time again? or just that once?

Edit, those little black pellets almost look like seeds, like if it ate a pomegranite, that dark could pass thru. They getting gravel for the gizzard? Just a rambling thought. Can you taste any sweetness in it

Its the first time I've seen it, They don't free range, so no berries. I did give then some scraps from the garden today, a first for them.
