Mucous in dropping

[mollyc]

One of my 7 day old chicks has mucous in her droppings. Some are completely mucous and some contain both mucous and normal poop. The mucous is brownish. They are eating medicated chick starter. They are acting normally otherwise.

Here's a link to a page that shows all kinds of poo. It will help you determine if your chick's are doing okay.

Thank you!! This was so helpful. New chicks are just like having a new baby. You keep thinking they are dying only to find out it is normal. I will sleep better tonight.
