Okay so I have never seen this before and online research is not helping as all I can find is chickens get watery poop when it is hot, but they are not hot and this is not just watery poop, they are also passing pure water.
I got some feed store chicks yesterday day, I have only had them since 10am Friday, I am unsure of the age but they only have an inch of wing feathers. Of them I have yet to see either white crested black polish produce a normal poop, I have not witnessed many poops but so far what I have seen comes out is either watery and very undigested (it looks and feels like wet food) or what seems to be pure water.
They act fine, they eat, they run around, they went berserk for scrambled eggs, one does whine a bit. I have them on medicated chick start and there is "chick boost" in the water. I do not have chick grit but just an hour ago I sprinkled in the smallest bits of pigeon grit I could pick out of my bag in hopes that grit helps with the undigested food issue, I did not see them swallow any (pieces may be too big)
So.... should I be concerned about their poops? I have no idea what is going on.
