This may sound stupid but I am a new owner of some chicks and after reading some of the other health conversations I came across "healthy poop". Since it sounds like something I should know about I was wondering if someone could tell me what "healthy poop" should look like. Thanks so much!!

It should be solid, and brown with a white spot in it.

Hen thanks for the response. I have another question too, is all different kinds of chickens have poop like that, or is it different with each kind?

I am not sure but I think poop doesn't change much from breed to breed. However all chickens have a poop, about 1 in 10 times I was told, that looks different and smells bad, it has something to do with coming from a different part of the intestine. It is normal.
