Normal baby chick poop?

[CrabbyAbby]

The other chicks poop don’t look like this chicks.
Just wondering if it something I should be keeping an eye on/ be worried about. They are quite young yet.

How old are the chicks? Also, what are you feeding them?

I just got them from tractor supply yesterday. They are maybe a week old.
I feed them the standard chick starter from there.

They have electrolyte powder you can add to the water, to manage dehydration. Also vitamin and herb addition to support the immune system. I also purchased 4 chicks 2 weeks ago from my local TSC. That's where I purchased the packets, they had them with the feed and water section. My chicks poop is semi solid and fairly dark, so I will say your chicks look more watery and light.

You can also try the medicated starter in case it's coccidia

Okay! I’ll keep an eye on it and keep adding the electrolytes to their water. They might be within the first week yet and still settling, but I’ll swing by ts and pick up a bag of the medicated stuff, just in case.
Thank you!

If they already have it medicated feed will not help them it is only a preventative. If they do have it, it is treated with Corid.

Is that the only dropping that looks like that?

I was holding this chick when it pooped on me, and I noticed a similar looking poop or two when I went to put it away.(I have 5 total chicks)
There’s plenty of normal looking poop in by them, these just look different. And I can’t recall if my chicks last year every had it like this.
