Is this a normal new chick poo or is this bloody? (pic)

[lizrndiver]

I just got my 3 day old chicks today and this is my first time raising chicks.

All are lively and eating and drinking. Most are poop green or tan, but a couple have been pooping a reddish brown poop.

Is it blood? Should I be worried? I am feeding them medicated chick starter. Here is a picture. Looks a little more red in real life.

Thanks,


Liz

I'm thinking that looks normal. Blood is redder.

Here's the poop page:

Good luck,

I'd be more worried about why they're pooping on my white carpet!

True, but luckily this was my white "posing towel". Of course the first chick pooped all over my nice white chick picture back drop.

I ended up using paper towels

good thing because they all seemed to like to poop while getting their picture taken.
