Red specks in my chickens poop - is this blood! Cause for concern?

[HeiHeiMeg]

Hi! I have been researching coccidiosis and intestinal lining shedding and I am not getting anywhere. I do have corid on hand but haven’t started it yet. Can someone help with this, does this look concerning? I did mix red pepper fakes and cinnamon in with treats recently so thought it could be that as well!

That to me looks indeed like pepper flakes or something else red
No cause for concern
Coccidiosis blood looks mucusy and dark red

You are wonderful thank you so much for easing my mind. My girls have me so worried 24/7!

Any reason for the spices?

I am still learning here. I read conflicting information that they were good for the gut and have now read that they are not. I was trying to give them exciting treats because they are stuck in their run due to the weather. I need to just stick to their food and when we see the grass again here in the Midwest they can roam for bugs!

Yeah, they're not good for much, unfortunately.

I hope I didn’t hurt them with what I gave! They are laying consistently and acting okay. Ahh lesson learned.

Not likely, they'll be fine.
