Hi my one chick keeps pooping a very dark almost black watery poop. Is he sick or is this normal?

Just bought Corid on Amazon. I bought the Corid 9.6% Oral solution. I was able to get overnight delivery so I should receive it tomorrow. How much do I mix in the chicks water?

Great! Dose is 10 ml (2 teaspoons) per gallon for five days, then 2.5 ml (1/2 teaspoon) per gallon for 7-14 days. Must be only source of water, and make fresh daily.

Ignore directions on bottle because they are for cattle and the Chicken dose is different than cattle dose.

Edited to fix typo

Odd for 3 weeks old. Do the poops look like that all the time, or just occasionally?

No, that is not normal poop. Something is off, the food is not right for her or she is eating wood chips or something. Try changing up her diet and see if it changes. Give her dried meal worms, boil eggs smashed up, that should help her "system". The other chicks can eat this stuff too, no need to deny them goodies! Good luck!

Oops, thought I tagged the Poop Inspector General earlier.
@casportpony what do you think?

That looks like an abnormal cecal poop. I suspect there might be some blood in it it. Might be a good idea to treat with Corid (amprolium). Do you have any Corid?

@azygous, what do you think about this?

@WVduckchick, do you have any suggestions. I have no idea what this could be but it does not look right to me...
