1 Jersey Giant, 1 Gold Sex, 2 Rhode Island Reds

Poop question:  Had them all together for about a week.  Poop has gone from the normal grayish/white to a yellowish brown.  Is this diarrhea? If so, what should I do to fix it?

My chicks are at 8 weeks now and at times they also had a wet dark brown poop. I didn't do anything about it and all is well. Now if there was blood or the color of blood....that could be a different story.

Somewhere on this site there is a poop chart...

 Welcome to BYC, I hope you enjoy this site and your chicks!!!

Thanks for the info.  I'll be on the lookout for a change in color.  My brothers and I raised hens and cocks about 25 years ago and I can't remember a thing other than how to butcher one!

OH, I did find that "poop chart" with some excellent pictures.  I have to say the "normal" range is huge so the chicks aren't showing anything out of the norm.
