Is this poop normal?

I just saw one of my chickens poop this out. Sorry for the graphic photo. I just want to know if it's normal or an indicator of something else

If it's simple poop and not waxy/cheesy lash material, it's normal. Stir it or pour water on it to determine consistency. If it disintegrates, it's poop. If it doesn't and ends up solid like cheese curds, it's lash material and indicates infection.

Sorry for the graphic photo.

Worry not! Here on BYC, pictures of poop aren't considered graphic. One of the first questions someone will ask if you say your chicken seems unwell is, "What does they poop look like?" So poop pics are considered pretty common.

I can try pouring water on it but I doubt that it will do anything since it's probably solid by now because of the cold snow weather
