Hi

How old are your chicks? Have they just been on chick starter or have you been giving them treats?
Are they unwell? Are they eating and drinking? Blood could point to coccidiosis, I say could as this may not be the case.

You could post in the emergencies injuries disease and cure sevtion. Here is the link ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures
Lots of info and some pics would really help in getting an idea of what maybe wrong with them.

How old are your chicks? Have they just started being outside? That is generally when the start exhibiting cocci, you want to treat it fast because it can bring chicks down quickly.
