Hello! My 3 month old chicks have a variety of poop colors & consistencies. Everyone has a clean butt, all are active, eating & drinking well. Here are 3 photos of different appearing 💩. Is this normal variance?

Hi,

The first one looks normal. The second one looks like a cecal poop they will have a few times a day, and those stink worse than their normal poo.

The third one I think may also be a cecal poop or could just be they ate something that caused it.

I had poop all over the place a few days ago the color of your middle one, then it dawned on me I'd given them a can of pumpkin.

Welcome To BYC!

The poop looks fine to me.

The first photo is a normal looking poop, the other 2 are Cecal Poop which vary in color and are looser stinky and sticky.
