Runny brown poop

[Jaksmac2]

First day out for my new chickens, bought them from a reputable company, taylormade poultry. They have been wormed. They had a bit of runny brown poop today, just wondering if this is normal for their first day, as it maybe because they were a bit stressed this morning getting used to their new surroundings, noises and different food. I was recommended fancy layer pellets. They seem happy enough, eating and popping as should.

Poop comes in a large range of colors, sizes, textures, etc.
A chicken will have what is called "cecal poop" about 1 out of every 8-10poops. The cecal poop is a bit runny, smelly like a "glob".

Coming to to a new home will cause stress, so give them a little time. Watch for any signs of bloody, foamy or mucous filled poop. But I think what you may be seeing is cecal poop.

If you like you can post a photo.
