8.5 week Cochin. Doesn't look normal to me...and poop seems to be brown and watery.

Do you have more pictures ? It's kind hard to see what's going on here.
Are you familiar with coccidiosis?
Can you get a picture if the poop? And do you have other birds besides these new ones?

I can take more pics tomorrow. I wasn't familiar with coccidiosis but I just went through and read a bunch of threads on it...I really hope that's not it but perhaps I should get some Corid. Couldn't hurt, right? :/
 
Okay sorry guys I'm still new to chickens and after picking this little one up for a closer look, it's below the vent that has been plucked bare. I'm really leaning towards it just being due to it being wet/rainy/muddy and the wet fluff lead to others picking on it. Vent seems to be normal and poop seems normal.

Yes I would get some Corid asap since the poop is off. It won't hurt if they don't have it but it could save their life if they do.
