7 week old Chick with runny stinky poop. Need advice.

[Brown Chick]

7 week old Chick with runny stinky poop slightly orange any advice? I bought them two weeks ago. They were like this from day one. See the photo. Yesterday the poop seemed like it was normal and today it was like this again. It seems stinkier than our last chicks poop was.

That appears to be cecal poop in the middle, and that is what we see several times a day. It comes from the ceca (the 2 pouches between the small and large intestines,) and is usually shiny and very smelly because it has been fermented. Are you chicks acting normally, eating and drinking? Unless you see a lethargic chick who stands puffed up and hunched, it is probably normal.

They look fine. I was just concerned that it has not cleared up. We are feeding them consistently the same and lots of fresh water with probiotics.

Try the Moro carrot soup, it helps with restoring gut balance: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/ascites-not-eating-scaly-leg-mites.1441960/post-23973664
