Hi Everyone. My chickens have recently had wet droppings, I put a piece of newspaper under them to get a clearer picture. Their vents are not really dirty, and they don't look out of the ordinary.
Is this normal, or is it something to be concerned about? Thankyou

What's your weather been like?

I'd check to make sure her crop is emptying and observe to see if she's drinking more than usual.
it's getting warmer, they have been drinking more than usual because I don't have a proper chicken waterer yet and I need to change the water every few hours.

If it’s hot and they’re drinking lots of water to cool themselves down, the extra will come out in their poop. Not 100% sure, but that looks just like the poop my chickens have in the summer.

I agree with @Hanathehappyhen if they are drinking more water, then this would cause looser stool.

I don't really use chicken waterers, I use rubber livestock bowls for my chickens. It really doesn't matter what type of container you use, the most important thing is they have access to fresh clean water during the day.
