Please help I’m not sure if she may be shedding intestinal lining or if she may have coccidiosis :/

How old is your chicken and how is she acting, eating, etc? You could get some droppings checked for worms and coccidiosis, plus enteritis. Does she lay eggs? Corid is harmless if you suspect coccidiosis, but worms can also be one of several causes of blood in droppings. Good wormers are Valbazen or SafeGuard Liquid Goat Wormer and horse paste.
 
Looks like intestinal shedding to me.
But that poop is kind of odd, soft and not well formed.....what are you feeding them?

She’s eating and being playful she’s acting completely normal and she’s around 3 years. Do you think I could go to any vet place and have them test it?
 
Many vets will not do a fecal float if they do not see the chicken, and many do not see chickens. My regular dog and cat vet agrees to do the fecal test as a favor, since they do them routinely for my dogs and cats. You can call and check. After looking again at the pictures, aart may be right that it looks more lice intestinal wall shedding. A little occasionally is normal, but a lot is not. If you can’t get the fecal test, you could treat with Corid for 5-7 days and worm her as well. Worming twice a year is about average in most areas, just to keep them healthy. At 3 years, I would watch for more similar poops. Check her crop in early morning to make sure that it is emptying overnight. If her poop gets more yellow, there could be some reproductive or liver problem.
