Blood in chicken poop

[gthor]

I noticed one of my younger chickens, she's about 6 months old, poops looked different today then it normally does. It looked yellow orange with red specks that looked like blood. I attached pictures. I've gotten lots of different answers searching google. I'm not sure if it's coccidiosis and I'm hoping it not.

Thanks

that looks like intestinal shedding - perfectly normal - to me. The blood with coccidiosis is much more obvious. Have a look at the photos here

Is it normal for a chicken not to eat while their intestine liner is shedding?

How do you tell the difference between mucus stool from the coccidiosis and a stool that is from intestinal shedding?

 

[gthor]

This is her most recent stool

Can I suggest you offer her a little bread torn into crumbs and soaked in milk (proper animal milk, not plant substitute), or smashed tinned sardine (drained), in order to see whether she'll eat either or both, and then report back?

I gave her the bread and milk. She ate some of the bread but mainly drank the milk. We got her to drink water on her own and eat a little Strawberry

good to hear that she's eating and drinking again; milk is very nutritious. How's the poop?

It was still the same this morning. I will check when I get home tonight

This is her most recent poop, I don't see any bloody mucus looking stuff like before. She is eating and drinking a more then this morning.
