Help!!!!!!!! Blood in the coop !!!!!!

[Gabby_The_Chick_Lover13]

Hi everyone
My name is Gabby ! I am a relatively newer chicken owner ! I am a long time backyardchicken reader but new to actually posting
I have been raising my girls as naturally as possible! Garlic apple cider vinegar 3 times a week, I started to use layer feed w/ cluckin good hearb mixed in, free choice Layer grit on the side, and free choice oyster shells on the side. ALL from Scratch & Peck Feeds

https://www.scratchandpeck.com/shop/hen-supplement-kit/
They have always used Scratch and Peck and have transitioned from chick to grower to layer according to the age on the website.

I keep a clean coop at all times and sprinkle DE in the coop once a week as well as have natural bug preventing plants (all of which are natural herbs the girls CAN eat hung in the coop)
Our girls (4 red sexlinks ) are free range in an acre of fenced in yard during the day.

Yesterday when I went to let the girls out I noticed a bit of blood in the coop. They are of laying age and should begin soon so after looking them all over a assumed that is the issue and ordered some kocci free just in case.
This morning I let the girls out and there is a LARGE. Area of blood there was some next to it but I'm not sure if the blood is in the or what exactly is happening. They all look fine and are acting as they always have I checked all of them completely.....
The blood looks to be thick and clot like in some areas .
SOMEONE please help me figure out what's going on !!

Welcome to BYC.
Never heard of kocci free.
I'd run to the nearest farm store and by some Corid. ASAP.

Did you examine each bird to see if there are any injuries?
Could they have possible eating something red?

DE does not prevent worms and or mites.

I checked each bird for any injuries and I didn't see anything (I was quite thorough my girls were not happy with me by the time I finished )
I ordered corrid with the kocci free (it's an all natural preventive/treatment supplement for Giardia, Coccidian, and Campylobacter (a bacterial infection) just in case, unfortunately where I live you have to get pretty much everything from a vet and NO ONE within a 50 mile radius deals with chickens There's nothing red anywhere I even double checked my yard to see if there where any bushes on the other side of the fence the could have poked through and I'm seeing nothing. They are on wormgaurd plus but I didn't think of internal mites

Could they have found a tomato? I think you need to examine the red stuff very thoroughly to try and figure out if it really is blood.

I hope you find out what that is!

Interestingly, this was me this morning. My rooster is pooping big bloody puddles just like this.

Bacterial infection in the gut was the diagnosis, he's on antibiotics.

Can you take a fecal sample to a vet? It really looks like blood to me. Can you smell it? Blood usually has a metallic smell. I know, gross, but do it for your chickens!

Separate them out into cages or crates or something and try to figure out who's doing the bloody poo. And check the feathers thoroughly around the vent. My roo looks a bit deflated, is fluffed up, and has blood in his feathers, so those would be signs to look for.

It’s definitely blood.
There are no vets that deal with chickens literally anywhere near or within a 2 hour drive I live in Wilbraham MA if anyone knows of a vet that does chicken/birds ...farm .. anything in my area I would be forever greatful!!
I’m going to try separating them I think that’s the best way to go. Thank you I’ve been so worried I didn’t even think to do that.
There was blood again this morning in the coop. I’m hoping one of the girls is about to start laying but I have a feeling that’s not it

I pretty much molested my girls trying to see if I could find any scratches bloody vent anything and I can’t find anything. I locked them up all day yesterday NO BLOOD wake up this morning and theirs blood in the coop again. .... I’m so confused!!!

Littleton Animal Hospital does see birds. Not the closest, or cheap, but the only one I know of. They're just off 495.
