they may have worms. What color is the diarhea? The color can help determine the problem. Diarhea can also indicate a disease or illness.

It's not really diarrhea ..... But it just gets messy
Some chickens just have fluffier backsides then others. I have a couple that need an occasional trim with a pair of scissors to keep things tidy back there.
However, messy backsides can also be an indication of worms so if your birds have are not on a regular deworming schedule it would be a very good idea to do so.

We now have them on worming food that they can eat all the time and I think we will bath them then trim them and see how we go .

One of them also does this yawning thing is that bad
Well they...can't really eat it all the time, I don't think. Is it Rooster Booster that you're using? If so, that's a good start. The yawning thing means that they may have Gapeworm or Capillary worms, and they are not good. You will have to start them on a deworming cycle and alternate dewormers once in a while. Please say what color the diarhea is, and what kind of dewormer you're using, how long you've been using it.
Ok, so it's not diarhea, but I mean is it white? Dark brown, or what?
