runny brown poo=problem?

[zade11]

Hey all. I had a couple of my chicks out on an old blanket so they could get a bit of exercise today and one of them made boom boom. though unlike how it's usually semi-hard lines of poo this was just runny brown and seriously stanky. any problem or just norm?

My chicks do that too. Im not sure what it is though... will do some research...

Probably a normal cecal poop. They drop one of those about every 5th poop or so.

Wow...that's some poop! Mine pretty consistently do the runny smelly brown poop, seems like they all do it once while running around on the old blanket I put down--and lots of normal poops besides that. They've been doing it for the past couple of weeks and are acting fine so I just chalked it up to that cecal poop.

What a relief, my chickens pooped normally, and then every few days would have runny poop. I thought they were sick till I saw this, thanks underground chickenman.
