Weird looking chicken poo

Was a bit of left over bread crust
That normally wouldn’t produce what I’m seeing here, unless she had eaten something like whole-grain bread with intact seeds.

Looking at it again, I’d swietch her to a simple mash for 48 hours.

Her droppings should return to normal (although I still stand that those are not droppings). If they are droppings, that amount of liquid also suggests polyuria—excess urine—with little to no urates, even considering it was picked up. It’s an easy test: take her regular feed, moisten it, and offer only that with water with no treats.

My guess is still regurgitation
. When the crop gets backed up, birds can sometimes start to aspirate small amounts because the material isn’t moving through properly. It doesn’t happen often in older pullets, but it does highlight that her system may not be processing as efficiently as it should right now.
 
I'm leaning towards @CabritaChicks suggestion- that this came out of the crop, not feces. Those might be little bread pieces. You may want to try just feeding her chicken food (add water to make a mash if necessary). Check to see if her crop is empty in the morning.
Yes I have been, her poop today is normal and I haven't seen anymore of what that was. I cheaked this morning her crop was empty:)

Yes I haven't fed her anything other then her usual food and water, her poop is normal but I will keep her in for a little longer just to keep an eye. Thanks for your help
