I noticed what looks like blood in my pullet’s stool when I was cleaning the coop. I’m not sure which one it came from. They all appear okay and have all been vaccinated for coccidiosis. I don’t see any other bloody poops. Could this be “normal”?
 
So, sometimes they will shed some of their intestinal lining and it will look like some blood. It looks more like that to me.

Coccidiosis doesn't actually have a cure, all birds have to build up a resistance to coccidia since it is present in their environment. When their systems or habitat gets overrun with coccidia is when they start to get ill.

It is good to keep some corid on hand, but I wouldn't worry too much unless you are seeing symptoms.
