Chicks drinking too much water?

[Judy]

Oh, EE's. I have 6. They like to cuddle on the floor, and they are some of the largest chicks.

I'm having the same problem with some of mine that are about 8 or 9 weeks old now. There is 6 in the pen and they empty a 1 quart bottle every 2 or 3 hours and poo is real watery. None of the other pens are doing that and all right there together. Not under heat lamp and not too hot. All pens are on same food and all look very healthy, no sneezing or any signs of distress anywhere. So why just these 6 and should I be worried about it? I'm already worried about it or I wouldn't be writing this. LOL

Some one please help me ASAP I had two chicks who both got sick from a weird sickness. The first one drank and ate too much and couldn't poop and kept puking slightly.... The second one was almost just like that only she wouldn't eat and puke, she only drank too much and slowly died. We have another chick who is now alone who was NOT exposed to the sickness and now she's starting to drink a lot and I don't know if it's normal or not.... Please help or i think she's going to die soon...
