One of my girls has runny, slightly frothy poop. We got them from Tractor Supply last this past Wednesday so I am not sure how old they are, I am guessing 2-3 weeks. She does not appear in distress, she's eating and drinking fine, she doesn't appear too hot or too cold, and she is very active. She also doesn't appear to be straining when she poops. Is this something I need to be concerned about? This is our first

Welcome To BYC!

Can you post a photo of the poop?
Likely what you are seeing is Cecal poop which is a looser, stinky, sticky poop. This occurs about 1 out of every 8-10 "normal" more formed/solid poop.

If she's eating/drinking/active and not straining then likely she's just fine.

Regardless if it's your first time or not, I think most all of us watch poop, behavior, etc. We do a bit of worrying and watching too, but oh boy aren't they fun! They grow so fast, so enjoy them:)
