Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is not uncommon for very young puppies to have softer, yellow-colored feces. I recommend monitoring for large amounts of very watery diarrhea, as this can make puppies become dehydrated very quickly. If you see this, they should be seen by a veterinarian. Otherwise, as long as the puppies are continuing to nurse well, urinate and defecate, they should be OK. I hope this is helpful!
