Chicken with a bloody vent

[Margie1005]

I have a buff Orphington who hasn’t started laying eggs yet acting fine eating drinking walking around she has a bloody bottom it’s not pouring out it’s just that when she tries to go to the bathroom you can see that it’s red with blood anybody know what this might be

Sounds like coccidiosis, does she have any symptoms that illness? I do also suggest taking her to an avian vet. Check that all other chickens are okay.

Hi @Margie1005 Welcome to BYC

Can you post some photos of your pullet and her vent?
Is the vent damaged from picking and is the tissue bleeding or is her poop bloody?
How old is she?

Like me asking for help finding things in a store, only to find out it's right in front of me .... Or making a Dr appt, only the day of the appt, all's well

Her vent looks good, just noticing to the lower left, like she's got a hemorrhoid .... @Wyorp Rock

Is she laying yet? If so do the eggs come out with blood on them?

I am thinking the same. She looks good I don’t think it’s coccidia she is a pig of a chicken loves grubs. I have one chicken who is Laing so I put out oyster shells wondering if that may have caused it
