Hello, I have three roughly Two-week old satin chicks, all are incredibly active when they’re awake. I noticed them doing a lot of napping today. When I go to pick up their poo (I do this about every 15-20 mins) I’ve noticed some very dark almost black dropping of the most rotten, foul smelling poop E v e r!
It started with one chick and now two. Almost every time I go to pick up poo there’s this new diarrhea around.
I keep them on a towel covered by a paper towel, feeding them non-medicated chick starter by Purina with occasional UltraKibble mixed in… I’ve only had them for three days now, so I have diluted Rooster Booster in their water that I planned on phasing out over the next few days. I got them from a local breeder.
No treats unless it’s boiled egg.
If I can get a picture of it I’ll update this thread with the poo
Please help me figure this out ;; I don’t want them to head downhill… and I certainly don’t want my freshly hatched chick sick!
