Bloody poop?

[sdchickgirl]

I feel like every time I start a thread here it's about another sick chicken. I've had the worst luck recently. Out of three flocks I've had five roosters! We've been doing really good health wise though until now. Last night I went in the coop and there was blood splatter with some poop. A lot! Not bright red intestinal shedding or like cocci but dark red. As if my chicken had had a period or something. It really worried me but I decided to wait until morning to see if anything has changed. So this morning I go out and there are two more blood splatters like the first plus a few other droppings with dark red blood in them. I'm starting to get really worried. None of my hens are acting sick or lethargic or anything either. Could it be internal bleeding? Please help!

It could be that one of the hens is bleeding because of a broken egg inside of her, but if they show no symptoms it seems more likely that they ate a bunch of berries and so just have red droppings.

If it is blood, I'll get back to you and try to help figure out what is wrong.

Best of luck!
