Strange caramel poo! Help

[reeeen4]

My 1 week old chick has all of a sudden started pooping this odd goopy dark caramel like poop. They seem healthy at them moment but not sure if I should be doing something preventative. Any advice would be great!

How many chicks do you have? Is it only one doing this? Is it constant or just sometimes? What are you feeding? What's the temp in your brooder? Where are you located?

If this is happening every now and then, it's probably the cecal poop (happens ever 6 - 7 poops) and normal. If it's every poop, it's possible your booder is too warm. Just a few possibilities, others will peep in their thoughts.

Looks like a normal cecal poop

Looks like a normal stinky, smelly cecal poop to me too

They are under a chick plate and there is 2 of them. I’ve only noticed 2 of them maybe 1 per chick?
I’m going to google what cecal poop is! Thanks for that.
