WARNING SOME POOP PICTURE IF YOU JUST FINISH FOOD DON'T LOOK
Okay I recently got a single baby chick that supposedly for my uncle's wife as meat chick for her family tradition. But as I asked on my previous post turn out not a meat chick (please check my other post from my profile) so I'm taking care of this little one until she's big enoughto be with my other hens. I gave her (I'll keep repeating as her with hope) chick starter food but they make some too big so I wet it. I also added medication and vitamins inside these food. She was eating fine but then she doesn't like to eat as if she's get bored of it. She starting want to eat rice. So I add same medication and vitamins. But when I let her roaming around she must've pick some odd thing to eat I noticedshe ate dead spider. I tried to get it out as if she knew she hurried eat it right away. Last night as usual she's not eating chick starter but my house only have fried rice so gave her a bit again she ate unto her storage chest area huge. This morning, she's not eating chick starter I mix leftover fried rice so she ate a bit (seem she doesn't like chick starter). Then she poop with a little pink colour like blood. I made scramble egg and mix medication and vitamins plus fine grits it's for bird but should be fine since I live in Australia I couldn't find small grits for baby chick. She ate until her chest huge. She's still flying and jump up fine. But I'm still worry if she's okay or not. I should mention she's born last Monday night so she just fully 1 week old. I don't know if it's normal for baby chick to be picky in foods or normal for baby chick jump up and flying up or not. But I'm positive she's not meat chick for sure to be this active.
UPDATE: her poop looks normal again now but it'll be great to know the answer so I can be more careful and less worry.
I add second poop still show little pink
