Bllody poop

Bloody poop sounds like cocci. You should treat the entire flock with Corid. Dosage is 2 tsp of of liquid per gallon, or 1.5 tsp of powder Corid per gallon of water for 5-7 days. The treated water should be their only water source.

It can also be worms

"Symptoms in adult birds include the sudden onset of a pale or bluish colour to the comb, diarrhea and smelly droppings, blood or bubbles in the droppings, a pasted vent, prominent keel bone."

Put your hand on your chickens breastbone just above the legs. If you can feel the line of the bone easily with your hand it means she has lost a lot of weight and has the prominent keel bone. Picture how a baked chook normally has all the breast meat either side. If they loose weight that meat vanishes and all you are left with is the bone in the middle. If they free range they can pick them up from eating worms and bugs.

However, don't worm and treat with Corid at the same time. Decide which one you think they have a problem with, and start with that. You can always worm and treat for cocci, just not at the same time.
