Mareks poop??

No, too young yet for Marek's symptoms that don't usually show up until eight to ten weeks.

But the poop is not healthy poop. You should ask your vet for an antibiotic. Or try to find Tylosin or Tylan online.

No, it's not Marek's poop. Chicks are too young.

Looks like Cecal poop which is normally seen about once out of every 8-10 "normal" formed poops.
What are you feeding?
Do you provide grit?

Sneezing. How does your brooder smell, ammonia like?

Do you notice other symptoms? Is this chick moving around, active, eating, drinking o.k.?

Giving organic food, some mealworms. They had grass yesterday because they went outside. I give grit 1 or 2 times a week, depending on how many treats they get. Sometimes give them mealworms but haven't in a bit.

Brooder doesn't smell like ammonia, just smells like chicken.

The chick is drinking, I gave some mealworms to it to try to see if it would eat. It ate them up super quickly. I haven't seen it eat the crumbles but if it ate the mealworms I think it would be eating the crumbles. The chick is walking around and kind of has a drier chirp than everyone else, and also seems to be a little sleepier than the rest.
