Can you tell me if this poop is normal?

I'm worried that the chickens might be sick. I have 2 month old chicks (black & amber sex link, golden comets) from TSC. I called a hatchery and was told to start them back up again on duramycin along with feeding them oatmeal and grapes. I haven't had any luck. I'm hoping this poop is just normal. I have never encountered it with my other chickens. Sorry the pics are so blurry. I also seen on here the "poop chart". Looks like this is normal but I wanted to get others opinions.

Thanks

This is what I've been getting for the past 3 weeks.

This one really just looks like water with white runny poop in the middle.
 
My chickens do that occasionally...I think it pretty much normal, esp the top. They tend to do that when they are stressed...I call it the "stress poop". But they just do that occasionally, as far as I know it is normal. Unless you see their health start to deteriorate, I wouldnt worry.
 
I don't know why they said duramycin, an antibiotic. You would only use that if they are sick. And grapes can cause diarrhea, especially in young chicks. I would just stick to chick starter. Are you feeding medicated starter?
