ok so i just got two new chicks a week ago from our local feed store. they are about 10 days old and still having really loose poop, not watery but not formed either. some of the poop in the brooder looks normal and some is this loose light brownish tan. They also have this odor even though I change their beding, water and food daily. the brooder doesnt smell the chicks do. from what i've been reading i'm thinking cocci what are your thoughts? If i treat them and its not that will it hurt them? also I have two children, can people get this? i do have them wash their hands if they touch the chicks but i'd rather not take the chance if they can get sick. if this is not cocci what else could i do? Im doing the "save a chick" electrolyte/vitamin in the water now what else?
