Is it normal for chicks to occasionally have very runny poo?

[chickenchok]

One of my 4 day old chicks has very runny dark brown poo that looks like diarrhea. Is this normal occasionally? Or should I be concerned? I"m not sure which one it is and they're all acting normal.
THank you.

They will all do that occasionally for the rest of their lives. It is a normal chicken thing.

It is normal. I just learned that on a diffferent thread today. About every 5 or 6 poo's will be runny. It is called cecal poo.
