Strange Droppings

I noticed some odd looking droppings in my coop and run this week. Weird texture, sort of foamy and mucousy? Any insights? Are these cause for concern, or just a normal kind of "weird"?

Are all of your chickens droppings like this? Or is it just a few that you found? I would think it’s just the normal kind of weird if so

Yes, it was only a few. Thanks.

Looks like cecal droppings. It should happen every 8 or so. It isn't really a cause for concern

If you only notice this every once in a while and all are acting normal, then I would not worry too much.

If it's consistent, take a sampling of fresh poop to your vet and get a fecal float to see if worms are a concern.
