12 day old baby chicks diarrhea

One (and hopefully just one) of my 12 day old baby chicks is having diarrhea. Dark brown, loose/liquidy. What should I expect?

If it really stinks, that's called a cecal poop.

I've given them probiotics if I thought they seems like their stools were loser than they should be. For chicks, I use the powder for in their water every other day for about a week and that always cleared it up. Ours is Hydro-Hen but there are lots of them out there.

Since it's only one chick, provided it's eating/drinking fine, I'd not worry too much. No other symptoms from that one or any of the others?

Idk which chick if it is just one. Unless probably I sit by the brooder for for a very long time, I wouldn't know which chick. There's 10 of them.

They could all have that probiotic water though, it's good for their digestive systems. I usually give it to mine when they're two days old, just for a little boost.

If there are no other symptoms I wouldn't worry. I had one chick with foamy, orangeish diarrhea, I gave all of them some organic kefir yoghurt and eventually it grew out of it.

So what you gave worked?

Maybe yes, maybe it wouldn't have made any difference. It certainly didn't hurt.
