No worries friend! That poop looks good. Slightly yellow can mean a touch of dehydration. What’s your temp been this past week?Anyone see picView attachment 1455107 there
Now that one is pretty yellow. Have you wormed your birds lately? That poop has a lot of air bubbles which means something could be causing distress to the intestinal tract...as in worms, Coccidia or a yeast infection. Internal parasites can cause yeast infections and gas in the tract.
If he were my bird, I would worm him if I hadn't done so this year. If this didn't fix the issue I might try some antibiotics. Either Amoxicillin or maybe Batril.
Since you aren't feeding a poultry diet, do you use any poultry vitamins? Definitely look into them.
And definitely get more water into him. Feed him wet foods like greens, chopped veggies, cabbage, tomatoes, etc... You can add a bit of fruit but go easy with high sugar fruits and it will feed a yeast infection.

Have you given your boys any fruit?
Mine have been enjoying watermelon to stay hydrated.
Yes @Saaniya this one is considerably yellow and frothy. I would consider worming.

Sounds like you are taking good care of your boys! If they don't have access to the outside then I would say this is not a worm issue.
How old are they?
I wouldn't bother with the Albendazole if you aren't worming.
So you can either use the Doxy or the Sulmet. I would lean toward using the Doxy, it is very broad spectrum and will take care of any Enteritis, E.coli, kidney infections, the addition of the Neomycin will aid with any respiratory issues that could be developing. The Sulmet might work better if this is a Coccidiosis thing although it does well on certain bacterias, I don't THINK Cocci is an issue so keep that stuff for later.
Can you post a pic of the label on the Doxy? Does it have ANY dosage listed? I need to know the percentage of the drugs, so a shot of the label will help me find a dosage.
