I have a 6 month old serama hen who ive just treated for a respiratory infection, she's just finished her course of antibiotics today. She's alot better no sneezing or wheezing anymore and acting herself again but I've just found a couple of these. What does this mean? Any help will be appreciated 🫶🏻

Definately not something I have ever seen in FECAL. This looks almost exactly like partially-digested feed from the crop — soft, swollen grains/food that have absorbed moisture.

Are you sure which end it came out of?

Chickens will vomit/regurgitate crop material when, is the crop overfull? emptying at night? did you pick her up suddenly? any signs of sour crop? or worse- impacted crop.

I'm pretty certain she did poop as I was cleaning her pen out yes but I wasn't looking directly at her so maybe I am wrong. Wouldn't say her crop is over full and it's emptying at night. No I wouldn't say so, she's acting normal, no smell from her beak. Just strange as there's no change in her at all
 
That's definitely not a poo I've seen before. I suppose it could be an effect of the antibiotics. What have you been feeding her?
Possibly, just layer pellets and some bread over the last week since she's been in
