Is it normal?

4 weeks old, she is not eating it somehow, i will give her the food and she will eat a little but she will get out of the brooder and will be picking stuff in the ground.. so I give her fruits and she will eat it all.

She has NEVER eaten the feed you give them? Is it crumbles or pellets?

She is not getting proper nutrition unless she eats chick starter. Stop giving fruits and treats, it is like giving a baby ice cream and not good food. Her poop tells you she is not getting good food.

How many chicks this age do you have, or is this your only chick? Are you offering commercial feed of some kind?

Starter chick crumble and a few more chicks asap sounds good.

I suggest you stop the treats until you get her stabilized on chick crumbles and see normal poop. Later, limit the treats to maybe a teaspoon a day and be sure to provide chick grit for digestion. The chick crumbles should have grit in it already. Good luck!

Yes, you must get her some BABY CHICK crumbles immediately. I just realized from reading your OP that you have been offering her your adult chicken crumbles. That's the problem, she can't digest that. It does not have grit in it. That's why she's refusing it. How long have you had her?
