Thank you for responding, this is a recent one she did on top of the coop, i just grabbed it and put it on kitchen towel, didnt look wet around the spot i got it and poop seem normally moist , no runny bits. i smelt it but it dosnt smell of anything really certainly not a strong blood smell. white bit is still a pinky colour thou.

That one looks pretty normal, but the other ones worry me.

It looks like blood to me as well. Put white paper under her roost tonight.

oh good im glad they are all ok, think ill get a sample to the vet tomorrow morning then and see if he thinks she needs some meds, again! poor thing shes been through so much already!
she seems well in herself thou, bit less energetic than before all her illness but still quite lively, eating and drinking dust bathing ect. im going to go pick up some probiotics too for after antibiotics, i have some on order, should be in tomorrow. i have flagyl in my first aid box but shes already had it so much, ill check with vet make sure she needs it before i give it as im not comfortable giving her more antibiotics unless i check she really needs them. im spending half my life at that vets lately!! thanks casportpony, i do hope i can get her better.

Keep in mind that I had one necropsied and the cause of death was blackhead, so I knew that was what mine probably had.

I have learned that sometimes chickens do get blood in their poop for no reason. If yours just had a procedure done at the Vets, it could be as simple as that. Something may have been irritated. If it's cocci or a form of Blackhead, you'll know soon. The blood will show up more often and the bird will start showing other symptoms such as fluffing of feather, lethergy and if allowed to go on too long lack of interest in food and water.

Shell: ask the vet to see when he did the endoscopy if he looked further than the crop, i wonder if he tried. He may of nicked her. The last poop looks good. If its not all the time, I would think she should get better. I would continue to feed her food that dissolves, no other treats until this clears up in case of a tear. Maybe put water in her food to make mash. I know it's a pain. Do that for at least a week after no signs of blood.

He also may of nicked her when he was cleaning out her crop as well.

i will ask him as i think he did have a good poke about in there. i have been mashing her pellets in water for the last couple of months but i did give her some mealworms today and put a treat bar out in the run because shes moulting and i was thinking protein. i have been grinding them up in food,dont know why i didnt today! ill remove the treat bar,it has sunflower seeds in it !!feel silly for giving them treats now should have got this seen to first. juat wanted to see if she reacted with excitement and energy, was glad when she did but was prob a mistake ill post what the vet makes of it in the morning. thanks guys for responding

btw if the vet did nick her during the procedure would that be very serious or something that would likely heal and resolve by itself?
