Runny poo

[RustyandChipper]

Hi, my chicks are two weeks old as of tomorrow and one of my chicks occasionally (interpret: every couple of days) poos really runny poos and I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to stop this or alleviate it?
My chicks also eat their poo every now and then. is this weird, normal, indifferent?

Thanks

Normal, most likely, especially if it's summer where you are. Chicks have a variet of poops. They will drink more water in summer which causes runnier poo.

It's winter in this delightfully cold part of Australia >.<
does the fact that we are giving them veges, eg. cauliflower, carrot, sweet potato, potato, brocoli, lettuce, as well as apple etc impact on their poo?

It has been unusually warm here in Tassie. Might be pasty butt, try them on some Greek yogurt. Make sure their little derrière 's are clean. A couple of drops of apple cider vinegar in the water may be helpful. Good luck.
