Why is the chickens poop weird like this.
They are eating drinking and acting normally roosting and everything seems normal.

Depending on how many birds you have, in how much space, it can seem like more. If everyone is acting ok, it's probably just normal cecal droppings. Do some observing, see if these are only a percentage of the droppings. Looking under the roosts in the morning is helpful, you should see a lot of normal droppings, and only some of the cecal. They poop a lot at night.
 
Looks like intestinal shed. If it only happens occasionally then it may be nothing to worry about. If you are seeing it frequently, then it could be internal parasites. Can you get a fecal test done?
