very dark liquid poop...picture attached..sick chick or healthy?

[Maggie1030]

Ok attached is the only starter foods I am feeding the chicks. No wood chips in the cage. Just pad and paper towels to monitor the dark poop. I will make eggs tomorrow. Should I take these starter crumbles out of the cage?

Those feeds should be fine. But check the expiration date on them, just to make sure they are fresh.
Is the dark poop really smelly?

Oops, thought I tagged the Poop Inspector General earlier.
@casportpony what do you think?

It’s nots very smelly

That looks like an abnormal cecal poop. I suspect there might be some blood in it it. Might be a good idea to treat with Corid (amprolium). Do you have any Corid?

 

[Maggie1030]

OK but I do not have Cirid. I will buy on Amazon now. Is it the liquid?

Just bought Corid on Amazon. I bought the Corid 9.6% Oral solution. I was able to get overnight delivery so I should receive it tomorrow. How much do I mix in the chicks water?

Great! Dose is 10 ml (2 teaspoons) per gallon for five days, then 2.5 ml (1/2 teaspoon) per gallon for 7-14 days. Must be only source of water, and make fresh daily.

Ignore directions on bottle because they are for cattle and the Chicken dose is different than cattle dose.

Edited to fix typo
