Baby chick clear liquid excrement, is this normal?

[My Three Chicks]

I just noticed that my 5-day old baby chick just pooped clear liquid (and quite a bit). There was just a little poop in there. She's done that twice in the past 30 mins. I know she was pooing normal earlier today. She seems otherwise fine. She does seem to drink more than she eats. She does not have pasty butt.

Should I be concerned?

I'd just keep an eye on her.

If she's drinking a lot, then the poop will be a bit more watery.

Is she eating o.k.?

What breed of chick is it? My Cornish Cross chicks seem to drink a ton more than any other breed and also poo more clear, at least until they get into their pure glutton stage.

I see her peck at the food but she doesn't seem to eat a lot. I just made some mash for them (3 chicks. The other 2 are 2 weeks old but they all get along great with her). They haven't tried it yet though.

She's an Easter Egger. Yeah hopefully her eating picks up and that helps. I'll make sure she continues to have normal poo too.

The same thing is happening to my girl - she's eating and drinking ok but the poo is 90% water with some regular chick poo and urea. Was your baby ok? Anything that I can do to help mine?

Hi. Yes she was completely fine after 2-3 days of clear poo. She definitely stopped drinking so much and I guess the balance was right again.
I now have a 1 month old who has a lot of clear water in her poo. But she eats and drinks great so I'm not too worries.
Hope your baby's poo gets back to normal soon too. But I don't think it's anything bad if everything else seems right...eating, drinking, active, no pasty butt, etc.

What a relief- thank you! Sounds like she will be fine too since her activity level is regular and there is no blood present and no pasty butt. Thanks!!
