Hi, My friend and I just got 4 pullets each from someone and they are about 14-16 weeks old. We are both noticing this red stuff- looks like blood- in their poops. It's not a lot but is speckled like this throughout.. Here's a photo- what should we do?
Thank you!

There are some normal blood colored poops, they are from some of their intestinal lining shedding. Those look like the normal ones to me, but I would wait around for someone else to confirm by agreeing.
 
Looks normal. I understand your concern, though. The 1st time I saw such poo, I actually thought the hen had eaten an earth worm & didn't digest it well. It is weird to see it, but every so often you'll see it & it will give you a mini heart attack, til you remember it's the shedding of intestinal lining.
