Web WormHole (Pun intended)

[fairhope_chickies]

Trying to avoid the WebMD/Self-diagnosis wormhole.

We are on day 3 of new baby chicks. I have never had chickens before. I've scrolled through the threads but I'm feeling a little overwhelmed.

Here's what I know and feel like were questions in other threads:
- They are 1.5-2 weeks old.
- We got them at Tractor Supply
- 3 different breeds (1 Australorp, 2 Amberlinks, 1 ISA Brown)
- They are on chick starter
- They're brooder is the guest bathroom bathtub
- We clean it daily
- They are eating fine
- They are drinking water
- They drink a little of the electrolyte water stuff Tractor supply said that I needed to give them
- The ratio of regular to this kind of poop is 50/50

Images attached.

Trying not to be a helicopter chicken mommy but want to make sure the girls are healthy and well.

Take them off the electrolyte stuff, they dont need it. Plain clean water and chick starter is all they need.

Other than that would you say it looks ok or they may have worms?

I think the poo looks fine. You haven't described anything to me that worries me except the electrolytes. I've never used them and the only time a chicken needs them is if they are dehydrated, possibly from an overheated brooder, which alot of first timers are guilty of, but only given for a day or two at most.

Looks like a good healthy cecal poop. No worries!

Your chicks are too young to have worms. Cecal poop should occur about every 8-10 droppings which is normal, and it stinks terrible.
