Poop help - sick chickens?

[KHolder]

Hi everyone! I have 22 chickens. The youngest are 13 weeks and the oldest are 1.5-2 years. I have some that are pooping normal and still laying. However some(including my young ones) are pooping abnormal and have stopped laying. All are still acting okay, eating, drinking, foraging with the flock but not laying. Posting pics of different poops I found this morning. What should I do?

The feces in all the photos are normal.
Due to the decrease in sunlight in Autumn and Winter, egg laying slows or stops altogether. This is also the time that birds normally go into molt. Birds in molt rarely lay eggs.
As long as your birds are eating, drinking and acting like a chicken should, there's nothing to worry about.

Normal Cecal poop. They're likely not laying because of the low daylight hours if you're in the northern hemisphere.

Got it! Thank you! My white leghorn is the only one who has a dirty vent. However she is still acting normal, just not laying. I did know that they slow down or completely stop laying towards the winter but I thought leghorns typically kept laying

Thank you! Is cecal poop also normal for the younger chickens?

All chickens do it, it happens once in a dozen poops or so, don't worry.
