Sesame, my 9 week light brahma roo is pooping this brown poo. What causes this? Am I doing something wrong? No other symptoms atm

 

[Rebechenson75]

Sesame seems to be having issues. Many of his feathers are in bad shape. Plus the poo thing.

What do I do?

9 weeks old yesterday

He's probably molting and that poo looks pretty normal to me. Anybody else?

Can you post a picture of the whole bird? What do you feed, including treats?

I feed flock feed 20% they get cabbage and a sunflower, flax and mealworm mix for snacks. I usually throw down a bit of their feed at snack time just so they feel loved.

I don't have a full body pick right now. He took the girls and went under the coop.

I see poop like that every day when I clean my poop trays. What about it concerns you?

This one was a couple days ago

It's different from their usual poo

It didn't have any urates on it and it's a little loose but I don't think it's anything to worry about. Just keep an eye on it. It might just be a cecal poop. Next one might be more like what you usually see.

Thank you. I am new to this. His feathers are looking pretty rough right now. My friend who raises poultry said he was just molting and his guard feathers are starting, not to worry.
Should I offer a little extra of the mealworm mixture?
