It is not that “stringy” but has some light yellow stuff in it, that’s like a mucusy texture. Is this concerning?

Can't tell a lot from the picture. Generally one needs to see at least a 24 hour sequence of dropppings before worrying unless one sees a lash egg. What is in your picture isn't a lash egg from what I can see.
Check her droppings on a regular basis. You may find as is often the case, that she deposits one or two strange droppings and returns to normal with no obvious explanation.

Hi, she is my chicken with possible egg yolk perotinis and the one with bumblefoot. She is on antibiotics but she has had watery stool for a while now - not with any water in it, but very soft, wet stool. It also has slightly yellow urates sometimes. Today she did a big poop with light yellow slimy stuff in it I thought might be egg yolk.
 
I suggest that the strange droppings are due to the antibiotics.
Ok, thanks! I would take her off the antibiotics but apparently that is unsafe because it can cause bacteria to re-build.

Otherwise, do you think this looks like egg yolk perotinis poop?
 
EYP doesn't in general effect the droppings. The food and the egg reach the vent by different routes and while an infection can effect the poop, in general what one sees with EYP is lash egg material. In general again, the droppings and lash egg material do not come out combined; one gets lash egg delivered without droppings.
