Why do I keep finding small amounts of blood in my coop?

[Kayla_and my ducks_4]

I keep finding blood in my coop. Like very small amounts every. I just went in there and I found some that’s wet still. Should i be worried? I check all their feet and toes. I check their bills and to see if there is any blood in the water when they drank. I tried to check their vents and I didn’t see any blood. Not sure what it is. No one seems to be actively bleeding, I just keep finding it.

Did you check the bottoms of their bills by their necks? Maybe one of them got stuck on the ice on the side of the bowl? I cant even give mine frozen peas right now. They stick to my ducks faces and tongues if the ice on the bowl can be a problem, that would be good for alot of us to know...our ducks water bowl here is icy just like yours

wow you've got a great eye! I don't think I'd ever notice that, check their bills maybe right below?

I did not! I will check in an hour or so! I didn’t see any new blood this morning luckily but I still don’t know why I keep finding it!! I’m bringing the food/water tray in too melt the ice today too! I wish it was warmer by you so your babies cold get some peas! Mine had peas yesterday! They gobbled them up like there’s no tomorrow

When mine were little and still in the brooder, I kept seeing the same thing in the bedding. It ended up being the back nails breaking off of a couple of my welshies. Still not sure from what, but that might be another thing to check on them.
After I replied to you earlier I went out and chipped the ice off of their water bowl, just in case.
And I cant deny my ducks their peas When it's this cold I put the peas in their water before i bring it out to them. I enjoy hand feeding them though, so as soon as it warms up again I'll be feeding them the frozen ones again

Maybe they are getting their periods

Me again I was just looking at another 'blood' thread...if you're not seeing any injuries on them, it could be from another animal, like a mouse or shrew that they ate
