Worms, Coccidiosis, or am I over-mothering?

Your pictures of the yellowish droppings look like they are probably normal cecal droppings. Those happen several times a day.

However I do see a lot of intestinal lining in your other pictures, so I would get a fecal test done to rule out any parasites. There is lining in the dropping you focused on, and in some of the others around it. When I see droppings like that in my flock it's time to worm, I have to treat regularly for roundworm. I would do the test, better safe than sorry.

Shedding intestinal lining is not normal neither are these poops.
Get a fecal test done if you can.

It is normal, it happens all the time. I literally just read that and the poops pictures were exactly as the original poster shared.
I had an issue with roundworm and I cleared them up using raw pumpkin seeds, raw squash and using apple cider vinegar in the water. Never saw another worm after that.

ok - this is getting more interesting...! I kinda expected some differing opinions.

The shed intestinal lining isn't happening anymore - I will try and get more photos today.

Can anyone recommend how/where to get fecal test done in UK? It's something new for me.

Thanks so much to everyone who is taking the time to respond.

@Aapomp831, I'm going to respectfully disagree with you, and your attachment makes both our points. A LITTLE intestinal lining may be normal and no concern, a lot should be investigated. I would never see that much lining in my flock and assume it was normal.
I also know, from experience, that pumpkin seed, raw squash and ACV do not cure worms.
To the OP, I think there are mail in options in the UK for a test if you don't have a vet that will do it for you.
I'm going to tag a a couple of UK members to see if they can help you with that question.

Thanks - so appreciate the help.

Here are photos of poop today - no signs of shed lining - but is the yellow foamy stuff normal?

The girls look happy and are enjoying the sun today one giant communal dust bath!

There is plenty of evidence to suggest that ACV keeps too acidic of an environment in the stomach for worms to thrive; as well as evidence that squash seeds do something to paralyze worms. I did it early when I noticed the first few worms and ever since I haven’t seen another one. I know plenty of people who have never had a worm problem just by using pumpkin seeds and ACV.
All I’m saying is it worked for me.

I've always used ACV, if that helps
