My budgie, Fluffy (F) and of course her twerpy lover, Dill are set up with water with Cal-D-Solve and a breeding supplement, Tropicana Pellets, and seed with AviCalPlus.
Now, she's been on this for 2 weeks, and recently pooped out a bloody stool, that looked sort of like a malformed chick. I don't have pictures, because I immediately tossed it out, and washed the entire set up. I'm not sure what's going on to my babies because they both are getting plenty of calcium, and get as much vegetables that I can convince them to try.
We scheduled an appointment with the nearest avian vet but still need advice!!

It's very unlikely that it was a malformed chick, as they don't develop inside the body of the hen. I sounds like it could have been undigested food. Either way, a vet visit is the way to go, recommending blood work as well. Depending on the age of the birds, they might not quite be ready to breed yet.
