chickens moved in to new coop

What's the temperature where the chickens are? When it's hot they eat less and drink more, which causes their poo to be runny. Chickens don't urinate, the white part of their poo is urine so taking in extra water will water it down. You can search on here for normal poo and there is a thread with good pictures of what's normal and what's not. It's kinda graphic but a picture I worth a thousand words and it's a very helpful learning tool.
 
Howdy! You're doing just fine. Good question. The area you have is the area you have. Let's help you manage. If I understand, they were all raised together then moved together? If so, my advice is an extra feeder and waterer or 2 till they sort it out. Be sure you have roosts and such so they're all not fighting for floor space. I have Buffs and Wyandottes. Both very gentle and amicable. I integrated 3 batches, 2 mos dif in age, had no worries so long as the youngest and most timid had a place to eat and drink and get away. I started with 3 each feed and H20, took out one per week. Left the big ones. With 3 roos and only 10 hens, you might have ongoing trouble even with these sweet breeds. Best of luck!
