I got some additional chicks and a couple 6+ week birds from a farm. I have 3 chicks already. I kept the new birds in a different room/brooder and the original chicks in a different one. Was going to keep them this way for two week quarantine.
The newer birds smell horrible. They may have the same amount of poop as the original chicks but it's 100x grosser smelling (no kidding). And there's weird colors to their cecum. The farm I got them from smelled this same way... super super strong.
Is it just their age difference? Could they be sick? I don't know what to do, if anything, about it.
No signs of cocci, feathers look fine, no lethargy or weird behavior. They have raw ACV in their water and same food as the original chicks.
Help?? Are they sick?
