OK. First I want to thank everyone for their help great information... My flock is looking better and better and happier and happier.... So we got the explosive bloody diarrhea taken care of (using Corrid)from one of our hens.. She is happy pecking and healthy. The roundworm in the poops have been treated.... but what the heck is up with this poop from my Rooster. He is very active, crowing , pecking , flapping, running, mating, and acting like the king.... BUT through all the other issues (previously mentioned) his poop has stayed the same... looks kind of like someone just cook up some ground beef in a pan... sort of (sorry if i just ruined ground beef for you)... is been like this for weeks. I hoped it would clear up with the corrid, or "rooster booster" or probiotics or electrolytes... but here we are.. this photo was tonight about 5 hours after they went in for the night, and I just cleaned the coop the night before so unless he is sitting in the EXACT same spot then this is all from the last 5 hrs since its directly under him... it is very watery... like the watery fluid is runningoff the edge and also splattering against the back.... all help and advise is much appreciated

Why do I always go for the poop photos when I'm eating?

Is the explosive green poop directly behind where he roosts, as in on the same level, or did it have to drop down to get there?

Something I've noticed is that even the slightest extra bit of moisture in droppings can cause it to explode into a worrisome mess when dropped from a height of even a foot. If the exit hatch is hovering just above the ground as it does when they're walking, that same poop could land all neat and tidy cute and perfect. But even a little bit of gravity can explode the thing like a bomb.

So that's one possibility.

And from having a rooster indoors for three months overnight, I know droppings that otherwise look well formed and dry can seep out moisture when they land on white towels, something we're not as likely to notice when it's outside on the ground. That moisture from a height is explosion worthy.

But I'm guessing this doesn't explain your rooster's brand of poop. He has preexisting problems and something else going on, then?
 
I'll link a poop chart below, in case you haven't seen one yet.

I would first ask, has he eaten anything that could be clumped?

Is it really watery (I think you said yes).

Is he acting ill? (I think you said no).

Could it be gut lining after being wormed? (It takes a little bit of time for the gut to heal after a load of worms).

Not sure....it doesn't look terrible to me. I'd keep an eye on the rooster.

See chart below.
