I have three silkie and I noticed with one that she was having diareaha and so I checked the others the first time they pooped it was normal but the second time they both had like orange poop confused me to
 
What the temperature like in Mass? Alot of Silkie owners are always worried about their chickens when its cold, but I worry about mine when its hot. If its been warm there, their extra water intake would easily explain the runny stool. What you're describing also sounds like a cecal poop. Every few dookies, they'll have a loose one that sort of cleans out their system....a yucky cecal dootie. Anyway, if they're eating, drinking and active I wouldn't be too concerned :)
 
Thank you I was so worried it has been very hot lately and I already lost a roo that I had before these unexpectedly he was fine then got slugish and within hours was dead
