Depending on what she was being fed before, a sudden change to new food and a new house may cause a bit of stress and a change in stool. Making sure she is on a balanced diet and is kept in a calm, stress-free area for a few days while she adjusts may help. if she doesn't return to normal behavior, the stool continues to be discolored, or you see other signs of illness such as listless behavior, not eating or drinking, excessive scratching or feather loss, etc, then having a vet take a look is always best.
