Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but here we go.

One of my girls did this big one this morning and I was concerned and wanted a breakdown to see if there’s something I should be worried about, and if so, what treatment I should pursue.

Little stringy bits hanging out of her butt too. Is it worms?

Sorry, this was just very out of the ordinary and made me concerned for her.

Is she okay? Acting usual but that doesn’t really say much since they hide their weaknesses.

I think a thread about poop would fit in just about anywhere. The poop in itself isn't all that concerning, but if the behavior of any of your chickens is off, then it could take on some meaning.

The stringy things in the poop could be sloughed off tissue from the oviduct, but if you look at it under a magnifying lens and you see it has segments, then you are looking at worms.
