Is this too watery stool?

[SamIamNam786]

So how bad is this stool? And what do I need to do?
They eat Kalbach food, scratch, electrolytes in water...

If they are all acting fine, it's probably fine. Lots of things can make droppings watery, even drinking a lot of water when it's hot out. I would not give electrolites all the time, only when needed. They don't need them on a daily basis, long term that's a lot of sodium. Just like you would not drink only Gatorade all the time, never anything else. They can be a lifesaver in the right circumstances, but not for constant use. If they are stressed, and you use electrolytes, or sick, etc then it's a good idea to give them for 1/2 the day and then switch to plain fresh water for the rest of the day.

So after seeing this I added electrolytes. I'll keep it for a couple of days and then see how it's going.

If it's all the droppings, or if anyone is acting off at all, then I would look for a cause. It could be dietary, if they range and find a tasty plant, they may eat a lot of it. If it persists, and you can get a fecal test done (some vets will do, many won't) that would rule internal parasites in or out, those can also cause runny droppings. You most often will not see worms in the droppings, they stay inside the bird. The eggs are shed in the droppings and they are microscopic, that is what the test looks for. If you can't get a fecal done, and it persists, then I would consider worming them, to see if it clears up.

Thank you..seems like there's regular droppings as well, as far as I can tell while cleaning out the poop board earlier. I'll need to keep an eye out.
