One of my baby chicks (2 weeks old) has had dark, (black) kind of runny poop. It acts fine, eating, drinking, active. Any idea what is causing this? (it had the dark runny poop the day I brought it home)
I always have vetRx on hand, this stuff is great!! i use it in the vapo but i also warm it up, soak a q-tip and rub it in the little nose holes, enough to where you can tell when they are swallowing it, you will know, because they dont like it
I am still pretty new at raising chickens, but i ran across a " poultry remedy " called VetRx , i will never be with out it! So you may want to try it ! I hope your chicken gets better
