(I have posted a similar question before, just a new health issue?)
My 2.5 year old snowy easter egger just ended her molt, and grew back most of her feathers, however I have noticed her poop has been almost completely water for around 2-4 weeks. No blood in her poop as far as I can tell. She eats a lot like she has since she was a chick, and because of that her crop gets full very quickly in the afternoon. I observed that it drains by the morning.
Usually the poop is water with a tiny bit of fecal matter. I have noticed water spots in the sand of their sleeping roost as well, left by her. She is perfectly energized, drinks and eats, and is enthusiastic for treats like normal. No lethargy, comb is normal/a bit pale but all of my chicken's are - its cold and they aren't laying, clean bum. Could this poop be a sign of coccidiosis or is it a molting thing? Has anyone else had a chicken who had very watery stool after molts?
I'm going to deworm her soon, and the rest of my flock (4 chickens)
Here are some details:

Here are some details:
- Modesto Milling organic chicken feed w/ food grade diatomaceous earth
- Fresh water but in a cup-watering system that fills when a tap is pushed by the chicken's beaks, gets dirty with food from their mouths so I clean it every other day
- Grubs/seeds/vegetables daily
- Large run space, not free-range, with dirt/rocks/roosts for entertainment
- Run/roost cleaned daily
