My chicks have Diarrhea?

The only thing I can think of is I did not give the little ones the vitamin water for a week, thinking they were old enough, but maybe they need it for much longer. I started it back today!!!
 
i really need some help please. I have a red star who is just turning 20 weeks. She started laying about 4 weeks ago- usually 1 egg every day. She's usually a very clean bird and their coop is always clean - I have been noticing her feathers around her vent have been dirty with watery poo and every time you pick her up she passes gas or poops (which she has never done before) I see her eating they are one a 1/2 medicated chick 1/2 grower-chick and switching over to layer this week - they don't get many treats yet because I thought maybe they were too young and didn't want to give them diarrhea - she also is a little skinny. It has been in the high 80's this week but they seemed fine - I do have a VERY hard time keeping their water clean but I change it 2x day - any advice would be greatly appreciated - on food, treats, etc - they are my 1st chickens and they're like my kids - I'm very worried about the poop most of all - thank you in advance
