I just adopted this chick, I chose him because he didn’t look too good and had to get away from the ones possibly pulling his feathers out, I’m calling him Crow, he is much smaller and isn’t fluffy at all, this is the third or fourth time within a few minutes of having him that a clear water like liquid came out his vent, is he fine?
I’m guessing male cause if the comb

Is he eating and drinking?
How old is he supposed to be?
You have your brooder all set up? What's the temps on the warm and cool side?

I don't see anything wrong with the feathers, just looks like he's losing his down.
Once I got him into the new brooder he went right to eating, he has access to water so he should be.
He’s possibly 5-7 days old.
The brooder has a heat lamp, food, water, chick grit and an all natural pine pellet kitty litter.
I’ve never seen my chicks do that but maybe I don’t remember it, he was hatched by a classroom of kids and there were quite a few, he was much different from the rest, less fluffy but had longer wing feathers
