Hmm , I have orange, marrion berry, and Vanilla flavored yougert, it does have live cultures in it.
You think any of those flavorings might be bad for them?

I would try the vanilla or the berry yogurt. Funny on your googling attempts. Let me do try to find some info you and I will post it when I find something for you. I was just reading the thread on the fire. Makes me cry for her and her family. did you see it? It was listed under the BYC home tab on top. Awful thing to happen.

Just posted a responce there actually.
Yeah, that is terrible.
Thanks for your help with my chicks

Hard to weed through all the junk on the internet anymore, not sure how you manage

Barg, go check out the links under deseases and cures, etc. in BYC. I found the first answer to your problem here:
http://www.birdcareco.com/English/Arts/Breed_arts/Chick/Problems.html#diarrhoe
there are a lot more links you can go to there. I didn't find anything in the "organic" one though.

sorry, I didn't leave the link to that thread

Quick comment regarding your diarrhea.

Have you considered your birds might have worms? Best is to get a fecal float at your vet to know what you're dealing with, but in the mean time some organic remedies include
Pumpkin seeds (with hull)
Diatomaceous Earth (food grade of course).

Using either of these can only help and not hurt your chicken, so It's ok to start these while you continue your search for the answer. If the symptoms dissapear in the meantime, you'll know you had worms!

I've rescued several chickens and they always come with really bad diarrhea. I start them on 2-3 tsp diatomaceous earth mixed into wet cat food...usually within 2-3 days they're poops are normal, and I lower their dose of DE to 1tsp as maintenance (either through their feed, or in their treats).

Good Luck
Sandra
