Hi,
I have two new chicks that are a little over 3 weeks into their quarantine. One's been having some orange-ish poop, which I believe is ceacal. I've never noticed this color poop from the chickens I've had, and since these are new chicks I want to make sure I'm not bringing anything into my existing flock. Would hate to have spent time separating them just to bring something in in the end. I'm sure it's fine, she's acting completely normal otherwise, but just wanted to double-check.
Had one more question. I keep seeing them scratching their heads. Not a lot, but enough that I've noticed it. Could just be because I'm watching them more than the other chickens, who knows. Should I be concerned for fleas? Do chickens normally scratch their heads?
Thanks!
