OK I have a bit of a weird questions but.... what is chick poop supposed to look like? I've had horses, donkeys, assorted other animals, but never birds. To me, loose manures are bad, but I know birds have obviously very different excretory processes. I have five week olds right now, just want to make sure everyone is doing ok. I see some firmer poop that sorta forms balls in the bedding, but using gloves today I removed a fresh dropping from the feeder and it was loose with a sorta melted chocolate consistency.
