Is this foamy poop normal or indicate coccidiosis? My dad says he sees these often but it is the first I’m noticing. It doesn’t look like cecal poop or diarrhea because it’s firm but the foamy-ness is concerning to me.

I lost 3 chickens in the last year and the necropsies were all clear, and the most recent death was several months ago. I treated with corid and the death stopped, but it still didn’t pop up on the necropsies beforehand. Now I’m wondering if I need to retreat with Corid or if all is well… everyone is acting well!

You need to provide more details about the chicken. How old? How is it acting? Eating or drinking?
I’m not sure which chicken the dropping came from. There are 23 pullets and 2 roosters, all were hatched between July and October 2024, all appear to be laying besides 2 ameraucanas hatched 10-7-24 that still have pale / immature combs. Everyone appears to be acting normal / eating / drinking, except one of my chickens that’s not all there and spends most of the day jumping into the wall.. pretty sure it’s not hers though because she wasn’t nearby when I found the fresh foamy dropping pictured
