Any ideas about this odd poo?

[jpschnurr]

Does anyone have any experience with anything that looks like this? I have 3, 26 day old chicks and one has started to produce this. looked on the web but found nothing. It seems to soak into paper like water. The producer is a speckled Sussex that is the runt of the bunch. Hope it's not serious. Jeff

I'm not an expert on chicken poo but, if you put that in the search box, it may come up with the photos that show normal, and other types of poo - as a diagnostic tool.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Here is a link to a chart like drumstick diva is talking about, some of the charts have poop similar to that listed as "watery" and say it can be from being too hot or not eating enough... how are the other chicks? The Sussex is the runt? Does she act normal, eat, drink etc? http://pluckandfeather.com/chicken-poo-chart-graphic.html

Sounds like you got some good advice

I have seen that in my flock as well. I don't think it is a problem.

But if this becomes a long term issue, you might post this question in our emergency section for more ideas....

Great to have you aboard and enjoy your flock!
