It certainly is possible if he ate a large amount. A sudden change in diet can sometimes lead to diarrhea. Keep him well hydrated and make sure he doesn't get into any more chicken feed. Offer his regular diet. You may want to keep him separate from other goats if you have more. If the diarrhea persists, consider submitting a stool sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth.
