It could be an upper GI bleed. Take your chicken to the vet quickly. You may need to use the emergency vet. It costs more, but in the meantime you may try some TUMS....or prilosec, in jello. Not the red kind!, it may alter the stool test. Good luck, may god be with you and your chicken It could be an upper GI bleed. Take your chicken to the vet quickly.

When you cook them, that is color the bone marrow becomes.

Improved answer - The above post is true, but doesn't anwer the question. The reason behind that is because the BLOOD trapped inside the bone and bone marrow lose the oxygen they carry when cooked. A common comparison would be, what color is the dried blood on your person after sustaining an injury? After it dries out it turns black due to the oxygen leaving the cells.
