I have two chickens, one a pullet and the other a roo, that are fairly new to my flock and have been around for a month. I noticed they were especially stinky when we picked them up, but that generally stopped after a week on our feed. They're on a premium feed with 17% protein and are still growing. They do not get treats most of the time. However, all this time they've been dropping exclusively yellow-brown tinted runny poos that aren't foamy nor look like an e.coli infection. If I catch a bit of solid poo, it's still doused in what looks like cecal droppings, but that's in every 6-7 poos. Is there any concern I should be having? They've been acting generally normal, flying, moving, and exploring around, but are less playful and calm down faster than my other chickens. My other chickens have been acting normal, but do peck at them a tiny bit, however nothing they've been losing feathers over nor does it seem like that big of a deal. I've tried giving them probiotics and extra supplements in an extra feeder, but that didn't seem to do anything so I stopped that. Is there anything else I can do for them?
