Normally I do not fret over droppings as I've found so many types I'm no longer really concerned.
BUT this lady is inside my house recovering from crop surgery.
It's the bubbles/foamy-ish appearance that has me wondering about a poo article that said "possibly" worms. Color seems fine and outside I would have thought cecal(?). I have dogs and a kid so just want others' opinions.

Thoughts?

I'm thinking cecal. I'll post a "poo" article with photos of the range of normal.

One does show foamy cecal can be just "normal" or could be a sign of worms, too much protein, kidney ailment, or coccidiosis.

Usually worms show actual worms in the poo.

Could be simply diarrhea from her crop surgery stirring things up in the digestive tract.

Yep! That's my go to article on all things poop. Glad to see I am learning to decipher between just an odd cecal poop due to extenuating circumstances as opposed to the former "oh crap my chicken has worms and kidney disease because I am feeding her too much protein!" response.

Thank you for the affirmation, I feel better since she is bunking in our living room because of her somewhat long term stay. I hated seeing her all alone in the sunroom.
