Appears they were fed something red-colored or gained access to some sort of red food like berries. Is there no chance of such a scenario?

If they were fed tomatoes, and carrots, that's most likley the cause. If you're still worried, withdraw any red-colored treats for a day or two and see if the poops subside.

Yup, the carrots are the main offender. When I first gave my chickens shredded carrots, I freaked out the next day bc their poop had little orange things sticking out of it... I freaked out and started researching worms, then saw the empty bag of carrots in the garbage... felt really silly
If you want to see really weird poop, feed them red cabbage.

yeah i gave mine shreds in their water dish today and then also some cut up pieces in their salad so that’s probably it
