Hi all,
I have 8 chicks, got them as "day olds" on March 1st. So they're about 2 to 2-1/2 wks old. But someone in the group has really wet poops. Most of the poops look nice and firm and well formed but someone, and I don't know which, seems to have runnier ones. Used to be more runny, today seems to have a formed portion w/ runny included. Everyone appears to be eating and drinking ok, they're getting a tad aggressive (running at each other and breast pounding, jumping on each other), heat is now down to 80 degrees, they all seem to move around the brooder ok, under the heat lamp at times and away from it. Is this something they'll outgrow or do I need to be concerned? They're eating medicated starter chick food, water w/ electrolytes. I did buy some "CORID" but haven't used it. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
