Wow thanks for the great welcome everyone!!!

The runny brown poop sounds like cecal poop.

This poop website has been invaluable to me and others in identifying odd looking poops:

As for the bloody poop, there are several possibilities. Coccidiosis is one of them but hopefully you're getting lots of help over on the diseases forum.

Good luck and welcome!!

Thanks Nmarine, I think you could be right. It matches the orangy one but it is mostly liquid every poop done. I notice you have a pom!! Me too, such wonderful little guys!!
The poop is the least of my probs. One of the chicks neck is drooping. She seems to be eating, pecking, preening, walking & standing ok, but she cant lift her head??? This is day
2 of the head-droop.
I will check the disease/illness forum.

Thanks again ^^
