baby poo?

[newchik715]

one of my chicks seems to have real runny poo....should i be very concerned? the others seem to have soft but well formed poo so this one stands out but she does seem healthy. She is active and vigorous. They are all eaqtinf, drinking, sleeping, running. Just the one runny poo i noticed. What should it look like?

Was this after you handled or frightened her?? Sometime they will poo a Cecal poo if they are scared really runny and smelly.. Keep an eye out and see if it happens again.. If so maybe post in the Emergency section.. Good Luck

It was immediately after I handled her. I had just taken her out and set her on the floor when it happened. I do not see any runny poo in the brooder. I hope that is all it was. I really do not want to lose any of my babies! Thanks for your reply!
