babychick has diarrhea? Doesnt look sick?

[jlt045]

So I have 3 baby chicks that are close to 2 weeks old. A gold sex link pullet, I guess what they call an "easter egger", and a black sex link, not sure of sex yet. The little Easter egger has been having loose stools and Im not sure what to do. I have had to wipe her behind twice in the past week, so not really too bad, but they do seem to be rather frequent as well as runny. She is showing no other signs of illness. She is eating and drinking fine and hopping around peeping with the other two. She is actually feathering out first, with half her wings and tail feathers already out. She is not droopy or lethargic, no eye discharge, other two chicks are showing no signs of anything, and she has not been huddling or anything to suggest she doesn't feel well. They are inside right now so I doubt they could have gotten into anything poisonous. She scared me to death last night when I peeked in at them while sleeping, because she was laying on her side with her legs out, so I was sure she was dead. I rushed in and she popped right up and started hopping around peeping with the others. That is the one and only time in a week I've seen her sleep that way. Opinions?

Can you post a pic? Why color is it? Chicks do have cecal poop, which is like a light chocolate pudding and totally normal. And the sleeping on the side thing is totally normal too, but can scare you!

Im not sure how to post a photo. But she is that little jumble of different shades of brown. The poop isn't watery runny, just more runny than usual. Kind of a caramel color, not yellow exactly, but definitely has yellowish tint

This is not her, but almost exactly what she looks like

What a cutie! She looks just like my EE's, I love that chipmunk pattern. Here's a link to the poop chart. It sounds like cecal poop to me.

WHEW!!! One of my almost week old Wyannotes has diarrhea- it looks like chocolate mousse. I have 9 right now and cannot figure out which one it is. They are all eating and drinking, and running around fine. Thanks for this info! I was really worrying about my babies.

Thank you, cecal poop is EXACTLY what it looks like. I will keep an eye on her, but now I'm way less stressed

Thanks for all the info! It looks EXACTLY like cecal poop so I will stop stressing. I posted a reply but was told it will have to be sent to a moderator? Anyway, thank you
