New to chickens... and their poop. One of my girls had this in her poop this morning. Should I be worried? And to be clear.., I washed my hands right after this picture...

Looks ok. They shed intestinal lining occasionally. Blood in the stool that is concerning is black. But I’m new to chickens as well....I had my first poop like that in June and freaked out. My brother reassured me it was normal.
 
It looks like a little intestinal lining shed. If you see more of it, then I would consider taking some droppings in to a vet for a fecal test to look for coccidiosis and worms. Coccidiosis can be treated with Corid.
