Blood in chicken poop???

[Countryhippie]

This morning when I went to greet my chickens I looked down and saw this poop in their run. If you look back on my posts, a few weeks ago I posted about my chickens having poop all over their butts. People told me to lock them in the coop/run and see if the diarrhea goes away. Well sometimes it has, I included a few pictures of other poops so you can see). Its not always like this is normally normal poop. I am just overly concerned with the poop that looks like it has blood in it. I have four hens all are 8 months. I cut out all treats in their diet, all they get is scratch grain and their normal food. Their normal food is mixed 50% Layer crumbles and 50%Chick starter. Please help me figure out what is wrong with my girls.

Chicken droppings can vary throughout the day, sometimes containing intestinal shed or being the shiny sticky fermented cecal poops. They do not need any scratch, but it should be less than 10% of their diet if you chose to give it as a treat. Layer, all flock, and chick starter have all of the nutrients they need. Having crushed oyster shell available in a separate container for hens’ who are laying is helpful to supply calcium. If you are seeing more intestinal shed you could take some fresh droppings into your regular vet for a fecal float on your next visit. They will look for worms and coccidiosis.

Thanks for the reply. I don't have a poultry vet around me and I asked my local vet if they would conduct a fecal float and they said no. I do give oyster shells on the side. I just didnt know what could cause this. Should I treat for worms or give corid? They have had lose stool for weeks.
