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.

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

Maybe they are getting their periods

I don’t believe this thread is a place for jokes. But if you want you can look in the “Random Rambling” and “Games, Jokes, And Fun” sections for places to have a good time!

Well I found what it was. I swear I check their feet more then once but one of my girls has a few scabs on her feet Not sure from what but she’s not bleeding anymore. Keeping an eye on it just incase it turns into bumble foot. Thank you all

Well, at least you know. Good catch! I would have missed that.

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

Hm if you're not seeing injuries and they are behaving normal, maybe they did eat a little mouse or something?

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
