@Animal-lover339 What are you feeding your chicks?
Do they have a source of grit available free choice?

What do you mean by "vomit" is water and/or feed dripping back out of the beaks after they eat?
Are any of these sick like the other one you had?

I would do a crop check first thing in the morning before they have had anything to eat/drink. If the crops are still full/have food, then there is a crop problem.

I would supply grit and see if that fixes the issue. Can’t seem to remember ever seeing one of my chickens puke, but they free range so they have access to all the grit they need.
