Weird poop with my 7 week old chick?

[GC-Raptor]

Possibly another poster? @GC-Raptor mentioned reading something about 27% being the limit for chickens in something they read right before I responded in that thread. May be what you were thinking of?

Yes, I read years ago that chickens shouldn't be fed more than 27% Protein feed as it can lead to kidney disease and gout.

Over 21% Protein can cause watery poop and high ammonia levels in bedding.
This is for confined Adult chickens not offered Scratch Grains or access to vegetation to lower daily Protein intake.

Recommended upper level for layer chicks is 22% Protein so as to not induce a too rapid growth and early onset of lay. GC

Sorry that’s a bad photo I’ll put a new one in.

Is it made in the United States? Some of the imported food can’t be trusted. Also, it never hurts to have Sav-A-Chick in their water. I give them that continuously until grown and if they are sick or injured.

Update: she hasn’t had a weird poop since and they’re all acting fine so I think that she’s OK!
