The poop looks like Cecal poop which would be about once out of every 8-10 poops. Do you see normal formed poop too?

How often are they sneezing? Do they sneeze at certain times like when they have been eating/drinking, scratching about or dust bathing?

Have you ever had respiratory illness within your flock?

Have you added new birds recently?

Have you added new bedding or dusty material to the coop or run? Any strong ammonia odors from droppings within the coop/run?

Sneezing can be due to a number of things. A couple of more common causes are respiratory illness and environmental. I'd observe for any increase in symptoms, note if there's mucous, facial swelling, lethargy, bubbles or pus in the eyes, coughing, etc. Also take note if there's an activity that is a common cause of the sneezing.
