Does this look like cecal droppings or something more serious?

All my chickens are acting fine and drinking normally. Posting just in case because I have baby chicks and I want to make sure they'll be okay. The droppings in the pictures are not theirs but I have seen similar orangeyish poo from them.

If those look similar to what you are seeing, it looks like someintestinal shed, mucus, and, a lot of white urates (chicken pee.) If I saw more than one of those, I would think about worming with Valbazen or SafeGuard, or if they are very young, treat with Corid for possible coccidiosis. How old are your chickens? Are any looking lethargic, puffed up/hunched, or not eating?

The pictures are poos from the adult chickens. Probably from two chickens. The adults are over a year old and the baby chicks are almost three weeks old. Everybody is acting fine. The adults were wormed last week. The baby chicks are caged so I don't see their poo too often.
