My broilers have runny droppings

[JennaWisconsin]

I have 30 meat birds and they are supposed to be going off to butcher. I noticed in the pen this morning that there were some droppings that were runny and some that had almost a stringy appearance with a reddish brown color. Not like the color of blood. Should I be worried? Everyone is eating/drinking fine and full of energy.

Good to go. If they look and act healthy, normal. Then they are.

My chickens tend to have very liquid poop when the weather is hot and they are drinking more water than usual. If it is getting hot where you are, it may just be the normal way their bodies adapts to the heat. Hot weather poops tend to be a lot of liquid with solid chunks in it, not like really diarrhea.
