Baby chick poop

[sammi_lynn12]

Should I be concerned? It’s only a little bit and looks like it just got stuck when she pooped but I did get them from rural king and I have been seeing a lot of people having issues. Mine have been completely healthy since I got them three days ago. I was able to just wipe it off with a paper towel but want to be proactive if I need to add something for her. They currently are on medicated chick starter and get hydro-hen added to their water daily.

I would like to add she is running around, eating, and drinking fine. After I picked her up and put her back down she ran, no sluggishness. I am wondering if I should treat them for coccidiosis just in case.

It might be best to get your chicks started on Corid 9.6% liquid solution. Dosage is 9.5ml per gallon of water for 5 days. Make it fresh daily and dont add anything to the mixture. Stop the hydro-hen during treatment and dont give the chicks anything containing thiamine during treatment.
