coop looks like there was a murder going on last night

[penquin]

Went out this morning to let the ladies out and after they all got out I noticed a small puddle of blood on the floor.( size of a large dogfood can) There coop is only about seven foot inside and they sleep in the rafter. When I was looking around I saw blood spattered on the walls and in the cabinet behind the last rafter. I have five barred rocks and they were fine with each other till now I guess. I am going to assume that they were fighting cause nothing can get in their coop. Any help with this one?

Thanks

Have you checked them for injuries?

Just wondering f something did get in the coop during the day and the girls attacked it when they went in at night?

sometimes mine peck each other on their combs to fight for prime roost space. you would not believe how much a pecked comb can bleed. most of the time, it looks much worse than it is.
