Okay, maybe I'm being a bit overprotective of my chicks. But for one they were expensive and for two they are adorable and I love them. So today I was cleaning the brooder and I saw some dry poop that had a bit of reddish pink in it! Is this possibly cocci?Could it just be intestinal lining and I'm freaking out over nothing?
For the first two days they were on crushed layer pellets, but now (as of yesterday) they are on medicated chick starter. Bot of them look healthy and are running around, eating drinking and just being their normal selves. So what is this, The chick don't appear Sick in any way?? (Sorry for poor pic quality, I'm using my webcam, also I only have two chicks as they were ten dollars each!)

I thought intestinal lining as well. Here in NZ chicks are quite overpriced, someone was selling Barred Rocks crossed with Red Sex Links for almost twenty dollars each. I can understand charging that much money for a purebreed chick, but twenty dollars for an unsexed crossbreed just seems crazy to me.
