I found this today. It is from a 5½ month old hen. What is it and what do I do?

Is this the first time you've seen poop looking like that?
Any other odd poop that looks yellow and foamy?

Have you ever treated them for coccidiosis?

It might just be some intestinal lining shed but it does seem a little bright.
I haven't seen poop like this before. I didn't see any other odd looking poop. I will investigate futher tomorrow. I have treated my other girls for coccidiosis last fall but this one and her sisters haven't been treated for it. All my girls are acting normal.
 
Is she active and alert, eating and drinking? I might consider treating her for worms with Valbazen 0.5 ml (1/2 ml) given orally, and repeat the in 10 days. Or use SafeGuard liquid goat wormer or horse paste 0.25 ml (1/4 ml) per pound given orally once and in 10 days for roundworms, or for 5 consecutive days for most all chicken worms except tapeworms.

Yeah she is acting normal, eating a drinking just fine. I searched the coop this morning looking for more abnormal poops and didn't find any. I have 11 hens. Should I treat them all?
