Intestinal lining? Cocci? Something else?

[ANiceKaren]

Hi friends! Wanted to get some advice on this red poo I’ve been finding every once in a while. I don’t see if often but saw it yesterday. I saw the girl who did it too if I need to treat her. Everyone in flock is fine, eating, drinking, healthy but one girl poops with red in it every so often… is this cocci or intestinal lining? Something I should treat or worry about? I do have some Corid on hand if needed. They do also free range and eat tomatoes… but it is only in one girl.. thanks for help!

Also.. sorry for poop pic so early in the morning

How old is she? Is behavior otherwise normal?
First I would withhold tomatoes for a while, see if it resolves. Anything that causes color change to droppings, particularly red things, can be easily confused for blood. To me it looks like either intestinal shed, or the tomatoes.
Occasional intestinal shed can be nothing to worry about. If it's happening a lot then cause should be looked into. If you can get a fecal float test done that will tell you if you have any internal parasites that need to be dealt with. Worms can cause increased intestinal shed, as well as coccidia. Some vets will do the fecal on chickens, some won't. There are also mail in options that aren't terribly expensive.

Thanks so much! She is 7 months old and not laying yet. She is an Easter Egger. She is fine otherwise and I’ve only noticed a few times before. Not every poop.. just once in a while. I’ll continue to keep an eye on her and decrease the treats! Thanks again for all the advice!
