Blood in teen chick poop.....normal at what age?

[Ayam Cemani Mommy]

I am new at raising chickens. I have four 2 month old teen ayam cemani chicks. I noticed this morning a small amount of blood in poop. They seem healthy and happy. I was wondering if this is normal at this age. They eat medicated starter. I change water when it is dirty. I clean their run when needed. I give them lots of attention. I thought I would ask before stressing.
Also should I add ACV to their water? Or maybe electrolytes? It gets pretty hot here in Texas.
Just want my babies to thrive! I'm crazy about them. Any tips are MUCH APPRECIATED!
The one in the pic is my lil roo, Chick Chick, although may needto change it to Chuck Chuck

Blood is never normal, really, though not necessarily cause for panic.

Can you get a pic of the stool for us?

You're doing a great job paying attention to their behavior and health! I add ACV every day and save electrolytes for stressed, sick or visibly overheated babies/adults. Some people don't do either one but I've seen some benefit in both. It's a preference thing.

At this point, given the change in stool, I'd clean both food and water dishes well and replace water daily until we figure out the poop situation.

Coccidosis is the most common cause of blood in stool, by the way. Meant to add that above.

ETA- Were they vaccinated for Mareks?

No, I bought them from a lady who hatched them. I was going to check on all the vet needs this weekend. Had to wait on my payday. I know I am a bad mommy.

You're not bad, you just are putting your needs first and being patient. Most people won't even take chickens to the vet but at least you are trying to!

I have to pass on this but will follow. @casportpony is another who is good with things like this.

Pictures are always good.
