I have not seen poop like this before. Do I need to worry? This is from a 2ish month old Silkie. It has been warm. She’s only been eating crumbles and some meal worms. She is acting and looks normal.

Pics of poop below!

Does not look like normal poop to me. I never encountered anything as such. Kind of looks like a parasite, or worms??? :idunno
Not to make you worry, that would solve nothing. You may need to worm your chickens. :idunno It is an inconvenience rather than a devastation.
Lets see what others may think, that may have had similar...

Tonight she pooped what essentially just looked like water. She’s still acting and looking normal. She’s only had crumbles and water.

At least one other had poop that was wet-ish, but looked pretty normal, nothing like this.

Should I worm them? Corrid? It seems like something is up, but I haven’t seen this before.

It looks normal to me. You ought to see some of my birds poop, real watery. Of course it's due to our hotter than normal temps lately (95+) and my birds are drinking alot of water.
Since you live in Vermont and you mentioned that it has been warm, this could be the case.
Generally, if a chicken is looking and acting normal, I wouldnt worry.
When a chicken slows eating, or may seem a little "off," then there might be a problem.
Go easy on treats, not too much. Supplements are not really needed if they are being fed a quality feed from the feed store.
It's good to be observant in these matters. :)
