Her diet contains egg and crumble. She’s not a big eater at all and sometimes doesn’t want to eat at all. The poop is watery but I’m wondering if that if the heat. It is 95 degrees. I do not know why it’s green and watery. Some poops are more solid but there are more watery green poops. Should I worry she is 9 weeks

This post will help you with poop coloration. If she is drinking a lot of water it may well be runny, especially in the heat.
Is this a chicken we are talking about?
The fact that she doesn't eat very much is a bit worrisome - how old is she? Is she in with other birds? If so, can you isolate her for a while just in case?

No she is alone. She is VERY active. And will eat when fed off your finger. I’ll direct her attention to food and she will eat for a few seconds and then get side tracked. She is 8 weeks
 
I see poops in that range of green sometimes, and it's normal. If you see bright green it can be from not eating well, more bile in the dropping. Yellow or yellow/green can sometimes mean infection. If she's acting normally otherwise I would just keep an eye on her. Has she always been alone? Chickens tend to do better with other birds, she may be lonely.

She’s very independent and will beat up other birds.
 
If you are concerned about coccidiosis, then go ahead and treat with Corid, it will do no harm. Not every bird will neccessarily show symptoms. The droppings don't look like what is usually seen with coccidiosis, but better safe than sorry. If you are seeing lethargy, not eating and drinking well, that can be a symptom. It can also be a symptom of something else, but the Corid is pretty safe. The heat can definitely be a factor, when they drink a lot trying to stay cool then the droppings can get watery. If they look mucousy, or sometimes bloody, that would be a coccidiosis symptom also.
