Is this normal poop for a hen? Has molting begun?

[MedusaSnake]

Hello BYC community, I wanted to ask if this is normal poop from my hen. It seems a little yellowish so I wanted to make sure if this looked ok or not. This hen sits around a lot but still eats.
Also I wanted to add that this particular hen has lost a few feathers as of lately. It’s still summer where I am and I believe molting happens near fall or winter. Is it normal to be molting earlier than usual?

Could this maybe be a result of the hot weather?

thanks in advance for any help

Have you seen her poop again?

My birds have started molting for this year already.

Here is an informative article that includes more poop pictures than most of us ever want to see. If you look at the picture labeled "chicken droppings in 90 degree heat", it looks very similiar to your picture.

I'm starting to see molted feathers on the ground too. Seem like molting this year is starting earlier than usual, but so be it.

Not yet but here is a earlier dropping which looks fine to me

I see, since she usually molts near September, I was just suspicious on why she started molting early.
