Milky brown diarrhea from 4mo lavender orp and her poop REEKS.

[Purelychicks]

This is only the first time or two it’s been like this, is it normal? They’ve all been treated for coccidiosis and wormed.

It's normal, it's concentrated excrement that chickens produce every now and then.

What are you feeding?
It's very possible you're seeing the cecal which is normal (@Tonyroo) ... they poop it every 7 - 8 poop. Surprised this is the first time you've encountered it.

yes its normal, called cecal poops, my orps do 1 or 2 of that kind daily. but I want to ask did they have worms and coccid already at 4 months old?

Not sure, my orp had blood in her poop so I treated for both.

Purina medicated chick food sprinkled with mealworms on occasion. And a side of grit

 

[ChickNanny13]

Freeze dried mealworms (too much) can cause "that" color in the cecal. Best not to sprinkle on food, sprinkle on the ground and assuming the grit is for chick in a separate dish/free feed.
