Yellow/orange droppings

Found this dropping in my coop. Not sure which chicken it came from but all act normal. Any ideas?

Are you sure that’s droppings? It looks kinda like egg yolk to me.

Looks like egg yolk. How old are they? Could have been a soft shelled or shell less egg, or they ate the shell before you got there to see this. Since they are all acting OK, I would just keep an eye on them. If these are new layers, then it could just be a glitch as their bodies work things out, or if a bird is coming back into lay after molt, then likewise could be a glitch. I get occasional eggs laid on the poop boards and all I ever find is usually the residue of yolk, they tend to eat up the rest.

Looks like egg yolk.
How old are your birds? I would watch to see if any of them act "off" over the next few days.

Thanks guys! That totally makes sense. They are just starting to lay. About 23-24 weeks old.
