Red clumps in chicken poop

[Mckayla01]

Has anyone seen this before in chicken droppings? I have no idea what it could be and I’m very worried about my hen who did this. Any suggestions?

Looks like shed lining, is it a one off or have you seen this for awhile? Can you put it into a cup of water and confirm if it's blood or lining? From my observation, young birds will shed lining as they grow through milestones. It's usually a poop or two for a couple of days and then stops. If it's excessive it could be coccidiosis which would be treated with corid. If it's worse then you'll need antibiotics.

@Wyorp Rock @azygous @Eggcessive please help!

How old is this chicken? Have you wormed them lately? Coccidiosis or worms can cause the red blood. I would consider worming with Valbazen or Safeguard, and giving some Corid, unless you can see a vet to have a fecal float on some fresh droppings.

That red stuff looks like organic material, not intestinal lining, which is reddish orange. And it's definitely not blood as blood is ruby red.

That red material is from something the chicken ate such as pyracantha berries. Look at what you have growing in your yard of that color red.
