Hi! 2 weeks ago I got lovely 9 weeks old wyandotte bantam chicks. They're lovely and chirpy and small. I have never raised chicks that are so young. I give them specific food for pullets 8-20 wks old, and train them with dried insect treats. They seem healthy, eat and drink well and are very, very energetic :ya. However their poop is different from my mature chickens. Mory fluid. I don't know if this is normal. I would love it someone could post a couple pics of normal poo for chicks this age. So that i have some reference. Maybe it is a little bit of a weird question. I'd really appreciate it anyone want share a poop-pic :cool:
 
Also to note - their poop may change as they adjust to what you're feeding them vs what they were being fed (plus add in free range finds etc). I also have found on hot days our chickies have more watery poo v solid due to the additional intake of water
 
@CatsandCrops Thank you, I'll keep that in mind.
The link that Pork Pie provided was incredibly helpful. The chicks poo seems to be normal, but I'm curious to see changes when i change their food.
