Sick chick?

[rkapfen]

so I have 4 baby chicks that I just got two days ago. They’re all adjusting very well. They’re eating and drinking good and very active, they’re also on medicated feed. Yesterday they had 30 minutes outside and they ate a few worms. I also put some electrolytes in their water yesterday, but normal water today. One of my chicks in particular seems to have had some runny poop just recently so I’m worried about cocidioisis. The only symptom would be the runny poop though as they’re still eating and drinking and active. Am I being too paranoid or should I treat them with Corid?

Here’s one of the poops

I think it's more likely that they aren't used to eating that kind of food(grass/bugs)... Chicks can be very sensitive. I would just keep them inside and give them electrolytes/probiotics in their water. As long as they are up/eating and drinking then I wouldn't worry too much. Good luck!

Agreed. It should improve in a day or two.
