This morning I was cleaning out my coop when I realised that most of my entire flock had black poop… what was even weirder to me is that when I looked at the wood chips underneath the poop it had stained a vibrant dark green, the day before I did feed some left over red cabbage and so far I have treated with apple cider vinegar in the water. Should this be a cause of concern?

Usually black poop comes from protein ( whenever I dig up rainworms and they eat a lot, the poop turns black) and the deep green can come from the red cabbage, alternative cause could be blood, but if they look happy, just wait a day
 
as the others have indicated, it's probably nothing to worry about.
Keep an eye on them, and please let us know if things take a sudden turn for the worse.
