I have a 4 day old chick that I noticed made a foamy poo when I was checking in on them today, it sounded fizzy when it came out.

The chick seems entirely healthy, eating drinking active.

Is this something I should be concerned about? Mostly concerned about coccidiosis but I don’t want to treat them in vain.

Just to note I’ve also been very careful with these chicks, I wash my hands every time before I handle them, changed their water twice per day.

They are on aspen shavings which I added 2 days ago and will be changing tomorrow.
 
Photos?

Very unlikely a 4 day old would have coccidiosis, takes a few weeks for the bacteria to reproduce in the system to the quantities that would cause problems.
