Hi @Lisa08 welcome to BYC,
I give you a bump to the top.
I’m not owning chickens but the first seems a bit off to me intuitively.

 

[Birdie mom]

whenever it's hot outside chickens may have watery poop because of their increase of water intake. The second poo looks fine but I'm not sure about the first one. @Wyorp Rock. What do you think?

Welcome To BYC
Can you please give more information?

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms?
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?
10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?
11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
12) Describe the housing/bedding in use

To answer your question - No. The first poop is not normal. The Second one, possibly normal.

1) Buff Orpington about 14 weeks, not sure the weight but seems comparable to my other orpington hen, same age
2) She seems to be fine ... For about 3 days one eye looked angry but is looking better now ... Her comb seems to be paler than the other orp, more pink than red, eating seems to be ok but she is not as active as the other chickens
3) 4 days
4) No
5) No
6) Idk, my rooster seems to bully her but he also seems to by her and she does the same.
7) ACV water, purina start and grow crumbles, raisins, cucumbers, and whatever bug wise from the yard
8) Seems to have only happened yesterday in the coop ... While she was out her poo seemed shaped and capped
9) ACV in her water and garlic powder sprinkled on her food
10) Id like to treat her myself ... They are just hobby birds with egg benefits ❤
11) Will post pics below
12) I use wood shavings from TSC in the coop and sand in their run.

As of yesterday she has started to look better

How long have you had her?
I would get some Corid to have on hand to treat for Coccidiosis. You can find it in the cattle section of Tractor Supply.

The yellow poop is not normal. If she were mine I would treat her with the Corid.

Here's dosing info: https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...ol-ampromed-the-correct-amprolium-dose.73341/

Keep watch on the eye, hopefully she was just pecked in the eye and it will get better in a few days. If it still seems odd shaped or changes colors, then you will want to investigate that further.

Thank you. I ordered some yesterday, received it today but worried about treating her for something she may not have Will it he okay for my other birds to be treated as well? I only have 5 hens and a rooster. Three buffs and 3 RIR or Cinnamon Queens .. Idk? Anyhow, Ive raised them all since they were we chicks from TSC

Also, how long should I treat for?
