ARE MY CHICKENS SICK?

Hi my chickens are both brooding of that relevant but their poos have been really liquid. All I feed them is water, laying pellets, grit, treats(oats mainly) and corn on the cob! Am I missing something from their diet, why is their poo so liquid? Does this mean something else is wrong?

Hi and welcome to BYC. I'd suggest posting on the ER forum - https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures for the best advice.

It may help giving them oyster shells. Where do you keep them?

BYC has a "poop chart" to help diagnosis various problems. I think if you put "poop chart" in the search box it will come up. I know, it's icky but someone has to deal with it.

That looks fairly normal to me. They are probably just drinking more water because it's summer.
