One of my 2mo. old pullets is having runny poops pretty consistently and acting more sheepish than usual. She used to be the one that liked being held the most but over the last week or so is the last to come up to me. Does this poop look normal?

I had thought so! I became concerned when I saw her poop three times in like an hour or so and they were all runny like this. Thank you!!That's a cecal poop, it's normal, it happens every. Dozen poops or so.
This is super reassuring, thank you for this!! She’s still eating and seems to look normal physically, etc. just her personality seems to be changing to be less happy being touched, and that paired with runny poops had me nervous. Thank you so much for your reply! I’ll save this for future.Here's a link to a helpful poop chart that another member pointed out on a different post!

I would say it looks like it falls under the normal range from that chart. But also take a good look at her diet, eye clarity, earlobe color, breathing, and feather condition. How long has her poop looked like that?
You can always try giving some electrolytes or a few high vitamin treats as a boost if you're concerned about her health wise, but chickens can have personality changes as they grow much like humans. As long as her vitals seem fine then you should be okay, just keep an eye on her and maybe monitor the rest of the flock. It might even be that she's getting harassed a little by the others and that might be why she wants to avoid contact.This is super reassuring, thank you for this!!
