Six days old and poo is a little runny.

[monkeyjason]

Just got my first three stunning chicks, one has a bit if a runny bum ( but not pasting up what so ever) just has runny poo. He's sneezed a few times and is the sleepy one of the three.

Worrying to much or sick chick?

Man they are growing quick though!

Advise would be great,

Cheers

this isn't a hundred percent, but Im pretty sure thats just what happens. What I would guess is that he is just more tired by chance, has runny poo by chance, and they probably all sneeze, you just might not see it. It is perfectly normal for chicks to have runny poo. As long as it doesn't stick, its all good.

Every few times they poo it will be a caecal poo (search BYC if interested) whereby the poo is runny. The other poos are more formed. I think I read every 8 poos or so?
