Expert Answer

Chick diarrhea and lethargy can be caused by many reasons, such as poor coop ventilation and improper feeding management. A dirty environment or spoiled food may break the original microbial balance in chicks, causing diarrhea. In addition, poor water quality, moldy feed, or the owner giving chicks too many antibiotics may also cause chick diarrhea.

When chicks show diarrhea, you can try feeding them some natural remedies such as garlic water and sweet wormwood to relieve the diarrhea. If the symptoms do not ease, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian promptly.
