Week old chicks not eating?

[aart]

Could be a cecal poop.....every 8 or so poops are cecal and they smell terrible.
They come from a different part of the intestine, are softer and stickier and stinkier.

Here's a couple links that show the different 'normal' poops...good chit to know, haha.

Thanks - great to know!! Definitely looks like cecal poop, so that's a big weight off my shoulder. They are also eating a lot more and scratching about now that I put the papers flat, not shredded, and scattered some feed across the ground. Keeps them foraging!
