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
