I got a new bantam flock (3 white sultans and 7 silkies) about a month ago and one of my White Sultans is sneezing a little and has had diarrhea for awhile. No one else seems to be sneezing and I haven’t noticed any other diarrhea from other chicks. 7 have been vaccinated (all 3 sultans) and 3 silkies were not (got them from TSC). I always give probiotics and electrolytes in my chick water and I added garlic and ACV, as well. I’m waiting on an order of Oregano oil too bc I read that helps. No other symptoms in the chick and no nasal discharge or mucus on eyes - nothing like that. I’m going to give the ACV a rest for a few days as I’ve been using it non-stop for awhile. Feed is 24% protein Dumour chick starter and chick grit of course. They have also had the occasional scrambled egg and super worm.
Should I now try antibiotics or another medication? What are your thoughts?
The chick’s name is Goose and I’m getting very attached to him/her. TIA!

Sometimes they sneeze when they’re eating, dust gets in their nose etc. Is it then or more random?

The diarrhea is what’s concerning, I’m glad you’re putting electrolytes in their water. Perhaps it’s
coccidia?
 
The sneezing is more random. Not just when he/she is in the brooder either. I have them on non medicated feed but that sultan was vaccinated by Ideal Poultry. Doesn’t have any other symptoms I don’t think.
