I’m seeing this color and consistency poop from a few of my chickens. They are on a layer feed with occasional scratch. They have clean water numerous times a day and also get electrolytes and probiotics. None of the chickens that expel this color are lethargic or seem sick.

How frequent? If every 10 days or so should be totally normal but if every day or close to that could be worms, coccidiosis, etc.
 
Occasional, like once a week and a tiny amount of scratch is okay. Not daily.
Electrolytes are not meant to be given daily so may want to rethink giving those often.

How old are your birds?
 
I agree that you don't really need to keep giving electrolytes, but seeing those poops every so often isn't a big deal.
 
Its about every few days.
How many birds do you have? If you have a huge flock, every few days would mean a week for one bird and it just is so frequent due to the mass amount. Is it from the same birds? Or different each time?
 
There are 12 birds. I believe there are 2 that have this poop condition
