Hello @mandelaomuga is the chicken having diarrhea or does the feces look normal otherwise? If it is diarrhea it may be a sign of an internal parasite.

It is best to see what our expert vet @nedward has to say.

yes you should get concern especially if it gets foamy. Normal dropping should be firm with a white patch on top(urate). Depending on the feed,season and climate the constancy varies however should it get foamy and or with blood stains then alarm has to raised. Check on you level of proteins in the diet as well.

Eimeria necatrix the microorganisms that is responsible for coccidiosis damages the intestinal walls of poultry so severely hence the blood stains in the diarrhea. Being monogastric( one stomach), before any antibiotics can take effect, the birds will be dead already. Hygiene hygiene and I repeat hygiene is the sure way to keep this disease at bay. Otherwise feed with coccidiostat can help minimize losses. Sulphur based drugs ? e.g S-dime liquid can be administered
