You can discourage your puppy from eating poop by immediately cleaning up after them to remove the temptation. You can also try feeding your puppy a high-quality diet to ensure they are getting all necessary nutrients, as sometimes eating poop can be a sign of a dietary deficiency. If the behavior persists, consult with a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues.
Full grown dogs nearly all like eating puppy chow. However they shouldn't, because the things in it (like fat & nutrients) that help a puppy grow will make a full grown dog get fat quickly. It would be like eating candy non-stop.

It is recommended to stop feeding birds in the fall when the weather starts to get consistently cold and natural food sources become more abundant for them. This is usually around late October or early November.
You can feed a 3 week old puppy, dry puppy food that has been soaked in warm water until it is very soft & mushy, then add some canned milk (1 part water to 1 part canned milk) to the mushy puppy food until it is a bit on the watery side. The pup should dive right in and make a big mess lapping it up. Make sure you are using a good name brand of puppy food, not some cheap generic puppy food. As the pup gets older, you can make the food less watery until you are feeding dry puppy food only. You only need to add the canned milk for about a week then stop with that. Don't ever use regular cow's milk as can cause diarrhea.
