Chicken poop with red strands

[Ace1981]

Hi all,

Just let me chooks out this morning and whilst clean out the coop I found this in one of my chooks poos.
I think it may be intestinal shedding but not sure. Any ideas? Today was the first I noticed this and I clean the coop out everyday. Any help would be great.

I've had that happen when they eat swiss chard stems or tomatoes or basically any red stringy vegetable.

Definitely keep an eye on it though! Blood in droppings is a classic sign of coccidiosis.
