Not sure what this is? IS this a worm?

I was cleaning the poop tray and

finger hit something and it was this, it was hanging off the roost bar. It feels gooey
Not sure who left it. Girls are ages from 17 weeks to 21. 1 rooster that is 17 weeks. 2 of the girls just started laying a week ago. Their on All flock feed 20%. I do give fruit and vegs about 2 times weeks for all 19 chickens it would be about 1 tablespoon each.
They have grit on the side and oyster shells on the side for the 2 layers.
This is the first of seeing anything wired with their poop.

I may have put this in the place.

Worm?! Have they been dewormed at all?

Back in the end of May I did a preventive treatment. With Safeguard for 4 days.
They do free range. I planned on doing another worming in October. But if it's worms, I guess I'll be doing it today

I’m not super experienced with it but it looks like a worm to me

It's not a worm. It's shed intestinal lining.
It can be due to worms, coccidiosis, stress or changes in diet that they arnt used to.

Thank you. It's been very hot and humid. We've been in the high 80's to mid 90's. I did a slow switch from chick grower to all flock, over a 2 week period. The last 2 days have been all flock. Same company Kalmbach. Their all eating, drinking and acting normal. I do have 2 hens that just started laying a week half ago. They were kinda bully's before but lately they've been major bully's. Besides that nothing has changed. I keep the coop clean. Run I put down and round the coop sand and wood bark chips. Once a week I put down in the run and around the coop First Saturday or DE. All day I’ve been checking poop, all look normal.
Thank you

You can put pinless peepers on the bully's, they work. Hot and humid? We live in NE Florida, we have long hot/humid summers. I have fans inside the coops running at night, fans running in the pens during the day.
