Poop

[Kip has chicks]

Yes, I said Poop!!

I brought home 3 little chicks from school today, they hatched in our incubator. I believe they are Bantams. One is spotted, one beige and the other yellow.

One of the girls, has greenish foamy poop. Is this normal? The chicks are about 5 days old. The other two girls seem to have normal poop.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to BYC.

I would post in this section for the most answers to your question: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures

Welcome to BYC!

Does the chick look sick? You might try adding some probiotics to their water. These will really help with the intestines and solidify the poop. Helps boost the immune system as well.

But yes, I would also post this in the emergency section.

I hope your chick is ok.

She looks great.....eating and scratching on the floor of her cage. She is getting along well with the other chicks as well.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! X3 on posting in the Emergencies section, pictures of the poo might help.

Howdy! You might try feeding medicated chick starter to your new brood. Hatched from school, eh? Neato!
