Really smelly runny poop

Thread Starter 

For the last week or so I have noticed 1 of my chicks is having really smelly runny poop. Its like brown in color and it smells awful. 

All of the other chicks have normal formed poop green tint with a little white. I think I have it narrowed down to 2 of 6 chicks. I am worried that this one could be having a problem?

Its also getting everywhere all of the birds have this chicks poo on them cus its runny and makes a mess.

 

 

All seem healthy, eating , alert. No issues just dont understand it anything I can do?

Ohh the chicks are 6 weeks
