Hen pooping blood?

[Jesusfreakmir12]

One of my hens who is a little under a year old started pooping blood. She acts and looks normal otherwise. None of my other hens is pooping blood. What could be wrong with her and how do I solve it? Thanks.

Have they ever been dewormed?

Could be coccidosis
That causes bloody stool
If that's the case you would want to treat with corid or amprollum they are the same and kill all 9 forms of cocci
Adult chickens can still get coccidosis if they come across a strain of cocci that they are not immune to
However usually they are puffed up sleepy and lethargic. But it could be the beginning of the cocci
Or it could be something else entirely
Keep an eye on her
If she starts to become lethetgic and sleepy then I'd start the corid
Otherwise it could be something else going on internally
Perhaps someone else can be of more help. I wish you the best of luck

No they have not been [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]dewormed. Ever. Could worms be the problem? If so, what do I give her? Thanks. [/FONT]

worms or coccidosis would be the most likely culprets.

we used safeguard goat dewormer (available at local farm supply store), probably should be dewormed anyway.
