Recently one of my chicks has been pooping really stinky and foamy stool. Is this a sign of anything?

Is this just an occasional poop? Is the chick acting normally? Eating, drinking, running around same as the others? It may just be cecal poop, which happens about every 10 droppings. The color and consistency can be different, and vary, and they often smell much worse. If the chick is acting normally, I would suspect that is what it is.

Chicks poop a lot, so it may seem more frequent. If nothing else is going on, I would just keep an eye on them, watch for any off behavior, lethargy, going off food and water. If everything stays normal, then all is good.
