Is this kind of poop normal for chicks?

My baby silkie Chick just pooped this a few minutes ago. It looks like blood and it smells awful like the adult hens and roosters who poop terrible smelling poop occasionally

Where are you located? I would check online for coccidiostat medication available to you locally. Or consult a vet, but do it soon! @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock @azygous will know more. Best wishes to you and your flock!
 
Please give your location. Amprollium, sulfa antibiotics, and toltrazuril are the usual drugs used in chickens to combat coccidiosis. You need one right away, or you may lose chicks. Until you get some, give a little yogurt mixed into a small amount of cooked rice to the chicks. Sulfa antibiotics can be sulfadimethoxine, sulfamethazine and others. Let us know what you find. Clean up any poop, and make sure their area is clean and dry with fresh bedding.
