First if they were overheated I woud definitely give them an electrolyte in their water. I use sav a chick. You can use a pedialyte or gatorade.
Spraddle leg? If it's spraddle leg your best bet would get it braced. Here's a good article on spraddle leg: http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2012/02/spraddle-leg-in-baby-chicks-what-is-it.html
