3 day ols chick expelling clear fluid

[MN Chicken]

This morning I was spending time with my chicks when I saw my 3 day old shoot out clear fluid with no brown. I watched for about an hour after. The chick is vigorous (scratching and even perched up with the 2 week old), eating just fine, crop is full, but soft. Should I be concerned about clear poop? It looks like water shooting out...and I mean shooting out. The temp in the brooder is 96 degrees on one side, 70 on the other for the older chicks, and the room they are in is 70.

Thanks for any information!

I would say he is just still digesting the yolk sac. The chicks dont need feed or water for 3 days because they have just absorbed the remaining yolk right befor hatching. I would not be concerned YET! If it continues for more than another day I might think about it more.

Good Luck and God Bless!
