just ask me Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 could be a growth in the canal i have seen that before which could cause the bleeding
buster151 Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Posted January 8, 2012 she's a 2009 bird thanks for all the help at least I have some thing to work with now
Guest IB Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 It does sound as if the blood is coming from the oviduct rather than the gut, which suggests that there is / has been an egg that's been stuck in or damaged 'the eggworks'. If so her egg-laying days are over.
Guest geordiejen Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 dont sound good for the hen mate.ive seen a bit of blood in the poops before but the hen did lay 2 eggs.blood in the poops can be a sign of cocci.
JohnQuinn Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 I always associated blood i the droppings with Cocci too, if it is an Egg broken or malformed inside her that she is passing there will still be calcium deposits amongst the faeces. No calcium? that would mean Cocci to me.

No calcium? that would mean Cocci to me.sorry everyone I didnt express myself correctly the blood and droppings are not being passed together just getting mixed in with each other
