Sick chicks

[Newbie_Chicken_Lady]

Hello, I’m new here and I just got 4 chicks from TSC all of various breeds. One of them is breathing with her mouth open and sneezing a lot. I noticed another one started sneezing this morning. For the past few days I have noticed this peanut butter poop. It smells really badly. I thought it was just them cleaning their gut because I had read that in an article earlier. I have had the chicks for a week. Help!

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
The really stinky poops are likely cecal poops.
The sneezing could be any number of respiratory diseases. How old were the chicks when you got them? How long had they been in the store?

Also there is a little clear nasal discharge that I wiped off.

I think they were 1-3 days old max. We got them the day they arrived at the store.

Can you post some pictures of them?

The black one is my main concern.
