I'm still rather new myself, but when I had poo questions this chart helped quite a bit:

They will have a bunch of different "types" of poop. As long as they're eating and drinking, and their crops empty over night, and they're not lethargic or "sickly" looking, and you don't see any worms or blood in any of their poop, ...they're PROBABLY ok. Just keep an eye on them and do check out the poop chart!

If their poop is CONTINUOUS runny, switch to non medicated chick starter crumbles. Add 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (ACV) to 1 quart of water and let them drink it freely.
