It's a medium brown colored but just a tad watery.

That's pretty normal. did you feel of her breastbone? If it's unusually thin, then worms is likely.​

Colie How are the other chicks doing? Cocci is very contagious and deadly without treatment. Go to the search engine here and use key words cocci. I had cocci once and it was a night mare. I lost so many chicks. I hatched out more than I could handle. My chick looked just like the one in your first picture. The chick was all fluffed up like that. It spreads pretty fast if this is the case.

She's thin all over in comparison to the other one. I'll go feel her breastbone now though..

Yikes isn't cocci what the medicated feed is for? The other chicks all seem vibrant. One of my silkie chicks has orange-ish slightly watery stool as well though. Sorry all the names confuse me. I'm going to go separate her now from the others.

Is the stool orange or redish? What are you feeding the chicks. I do not think that medicated feed prevents cocci. I am not sure that that is what it is. The first picture is very similar to what my chick looked like. There is so much helpful information on this forum about how to treat cocci if that is what it is. Is the chick moving around or just still? Is she eating? I am just saying that if its cocci it has to be treated asap.

It's like a clay color but not reddish. I'm feeding them Manna Pro chick starter crumbles that are medicated. I've separated her from everyone else, trying to figure out how to keep her warm as I don't have any normal lightbulbs in my house to rig up another lamp

Her breastbone is very thin feels very sharp like there is no meat there.

Hang on while I look up something for you. My chick really did not have bloody poop and that is why I lost most of them. But it was for sure cocci because that medication cleared up the clutch.

Ok thanks for the help! I'm looking up a listing of feed stores in my area now. They are all very small shops that don't stock a lot of things. If I can get an idea of what to ask for I can start calling.
