Thanks for the link!! Kind of "ick" but very helpfull. Now I know what I was worried about is really normal!
You are welcome. I can remember first starting out with chickens, seeing what I now know is ceceal poo, being worried but too afraid to ask.

My next question was going to be the one that SmittenChicken already asked, about the temps. My chicks, but not my adult birds, are having alot of loose stools right now. It's extremely hot here and they have gone off their feed quite a bit, preferring to hang around the waterer...

Are you noticing this with every stool? The reason I ask is because chickens produce what is called a ceceal (cecal) stool every 6 to 10 movements and it's quite normal.
Here's some info. that might help you out:
