chick poop

[ShaggysGirl]

Hi Guys,
I have 16 chicks hatched Monday I guess. Most the poop seems solid but their are a few puddles tan in color and I have even seen a few just like brown water.
Is that normal?
I watch them on a off and they all seem ok eating, drinking, running, flapping and sleeping.
Thanks
Rhonda

Yes, you are seeing cecal poop in the brown stuff, they do this every few poops and it stinks! There is a good site that has poop pictures I will see if I can find the link....

here ya go, enjoy!

Howdy! Nice pop page

I have a question and you may be the person to ask...anybody with a pop page like that is bound to know!

I am in a hatch, babes are between the ages of fresh from the shell to 24 hrs old. I am noticing any poop is a neon-green color. Not anything I have ever seen before in a hatch...
any idea? salmonella?
think it is anything to worry about? Mostly curious, not a lot I could do but wait and see...but never know!
Thank you
