Blood Globs Under Hen

[Alexandra Runner]

Could she have gotten into rodenticides, did you or any of your close neighbours put out some rat poison lately?

Check her skin underneath the plumage closely for hematoma like patches.

Her skin looks completely normal.

If you want to try the enrofloxacin, you could do that. With the understanding that if it's a reproductive problem, it may not help. If it's some kind of infection, like e coli or clostridium, it may help, though oxytetracyclines are more commonly used for those. (Bacitracin, lincomycin, virginiamycin, oxytetracyline).
In your picture, the blob on the bottom left kind of resembles an ovarian cyst. I have seen images of them expelled, but that is fairly uncommon, usually they are seen at necropsy. Image below of some for comparison. If you still have them, cut them open and see what the inside looks like, fluid, solid, blood etc.

That is at least a relief

It's not blood then. I haven't seen ovarian cysts.

I have no clue as to what it could be then. Perhaps the water didn't turn red because the blobs had already dried? I will see if there are any more tomorrow and put them in water immediately if there are.

@Wyorp Rock @azygous @Eggcessive please help!

Have you checked Daisy's skin around her vent for pecking injuries? That blood appears not to be mixed into the poop, but deposited after the poop was dropped onto that surface. It's something to be ruled out before assuming she has internal bleeding.

Do you still have those clumps? If you do, can you cut them open?

They look like Intact Follicles to me. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/expelled-oviduct.1597764/post-27165529

Daisy's vent looks completely normal - it's pretty small, so I think I can assume she's not laying anymore.
As for cutting them open, I did (I don't have pictures - if it happens again, I will take some), and they were a deep, bloody red all the way through. I'm not one for squeamishness, but that turned even my stomach. They held together better than poop, but they didn't have the layers of the lash eggs I got out of my hen Delta (Daisy's sister) before she passed.

Just went through the article you sent me - that does look like what came out of poor Daisy! Thank you! I have to turn in for the night, but I will be back when the sun arises!
