One of my chickens (a silkie, who is less than a year old) pooped this. I was just wondering, because after doing some searching, everyone made it seem like it was the end. For reference she is about 22 weeks, and seems to be completely healthy. She is very lively and absolutely loves hanging around my chair outside. She recently puffed out and grew in most of her feathers, as it's getting colder. Do you think she is sick, and should I be super worried ? This is the first time I've seen a dropping like this.
 
That looks like a typical cecal poop, which comes in different colors, and is more shiny, sticky, and stinky. Cecal poops happen a few times a day in between normal poops, and come from the 2 ceca located between the small and large intestines where fermentation of food takes place. If she is acting normally I would not be concerned.
