Does my chicken have diahreah or coccidiocis

[MasterChief2988]

I assume that my chicken is a he.
He is 2 months old and probably a cornish cross.
Is his comb okay?

Vent seems okay
But his poop seems weird

He has been having liquid like poop for a week
He isnt lethargic
He shows no physical weakness
He lives in a cage (alone sadly) with a mirror ,food in a pringles can (poultry feed) and water(uncovered)
His bedding is Hay and newspaper which we change every 2 days
I take him downstairs atleast once a day to the garage where he eats dirt,flies and leaves
I also let him out of his cage to roam freely sometimes
My chicken also likes to sit down and snuggle in the counch but he can jump onto it meaning he isnt lethargic
BUT he sometimes tries to eat newspaper
He has been having these types of poops for about a week and its kinda cool where we live(20 celcius at night, 22 celcius at morning)
My question is that based on these factors is he likely to suffer from diahreah or coccidiocis?

That's not "normal" poop, but poop can vary a lot according to how warm or cool it is, how much your chicken is drinking, what he's eating, and whether it's high in water content. Fruit will produce runny poops sometimes, and some fruit will cause the type of poop you've been seeing this week from your rooster, raisins and plums for example.

So, weird poop alone isn't necessarily cause for concern. Weird poop in conjunction with behavior that is "off" is another story. A sick chicken will not be active at all. He will stand around without moving, and his eyes my be closed or half closed. His tail will be held low and flat. Most of all, a sick chicken will go completely mute. You won't hear a peep out of him. Then you will know he's sick.

Coccidiosis will cause a chicken to act sick. They start out acting lethargic, and gradually get weaker and sicker. There is also usually blood in the poop from the coccidia parasites eating away at the intestines.

There is a small chance your chicken has picked up a bacteria, but as long as he acts okay, I wouldn't worry. It sounds like he gets very good care, so he should be able to kick the bug, if he has one, with a strong immune system.

Since he's a house chicken, one thing you need to make sure he has is grit. You let him have access to dirt, and he probably gets grit from the soil, but if you could buy a bag of regular poultry granite grit and offer him some every time you feed him, it would assure he gets what he needs for proper digestion.

You may want to add some ACV (unfiltered) to his water ( 1T/gal) and even ferment his feed. Fermenting feed has alot of good benefits. Plain yogurt is a good probiotic also. Poultry Grit would be beneficially too.
