Poop question...

[Kaitiwolfe]

Is this normal?? If not what do I need to do? They are about 7 weeks...

How do they look and act? Are they eating and drinking? Are they outside running around?

That may be cecal poop. Here is a chart with some poops and explanations:

They are acting completely normal, running around outside in their run, eating and drinking just fine.. they are eating the medicated starter, drinking the water with acv.

They sound completely normal. If you see any of them standing around puffed up or hunched, and lethargic, then I would start them on Corid.

Stop the ACV, they dont need it.

really?????

ACV, especially in chicks strips intestines of mucus and beneficial bacteria due to its acidity.
It also upsets calcium balance since ACV dissolves calcium.
I used to use it with adult hens years ago, not anymore.

Wow, that’s good to know, everything I read online seemed to push the acv so it looks like I will have to do some more researching. Do you think that could have caused the loose poop?
