Almost 2 weeks later update:
Diarrhea seemed to have either stopped or I didn't noticed it so much anymore when I changed to wood shavings.
The guy now it's the least tame of them all and seems healthy.
I think it's a beatiful tuxedo!
Well, I'll keep you posted about this little fella and the rest of the flock, since I know at least a couple more have the same problem and yesterday the number seemed a lot greater. The droppings in general seem to have improved.
Ty guys for trying to help!
Ty! Me too :) I guess they made it out of the hatch and I thought I was out of the woods but maybe I can expect some problems from help-outs or maybe some chicks in general even if I make my best and they're well taken care of (?) It's my first time taking care of this many chicks. In the past I...
ay :'( I hope it goes well. I'm attached to it already! But still I guess if it doesn't make it at least I'd have done everything I could I guess. I'm trying to give it a chance. Is yolk better boiled than raw?

Yes, my mom is headed to the store to ask for the label.
Well I wonder if the powder to mix with water for when humans have diarrhea would help, because that I have at home. But who knows about the dose. Then I guess I'd have to ask for some nutrient solution for poultry?
Yes, they're eating...
Thanks. This is the food. It came a bit of in pellets so I grinded it up. I read about that when I was researching. About the protein content, I told the pet shop dude but he said this was fine. I only have his word for it tho, I didn't asked to see any labels since he sells it by weight in a...
Hi,
I've incubated some Coturnix Quail eggs and my 2 days old chicks started having some diarrhea. Yesterday there wasn't any. I have incubated them in my apartment and they haven't been in contact with any other bird or animal, so I have doubts of it being a disease.
The water is clean and...
