Welcome to e-health. Yes, it's normal. That's what blood smells like.

fowl smell after hysterectomy
Hi - whereas I don't want to disagree with anyone - I would say that the smell could be a sign of an infection. Blood should not smell fowl. I had that same "dead" smell in the blood from my wound: and needed a course of antibiotics.
