One of my silkie hens had gone broody and so I picked her up and put her outside while I collected the eggs she was sitting on since I didn't want her to be broody, and when I came back to grab her, I noticed in her poop it looked like their was streaks of blood and a blood clot. is that from stress or something she ate that didn't agree with her and irritated her insides? this is my first time dealing with this so any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
How is she doing?
If you can get some photos of the poop that would be helpful.

Is she brooding in a nesting box where other hens could possibly pick at her vent? Did you look at her vent to see if there was any wounds, blood or prolapse?
 
she is alone where no hens can get at her since I recently had to switch which group of hens she was with and I'll take a look and see if I can get a pic in the morning of her poop. I did look at her vent, there are no wounds or any sign of trauma. I currently have her alone with one other calm, older hen for company so I can monitor her easily
