Are you just feeding them chick starter or what? In the photos it doesn't look like there is much food in the poop. Try giving them some grit so they digest the food better if they are still eating.
 
At 4wks old are they still in a brooder with heat?
What type of food are you normally feeding?
You mention that they are sneezing - any coughing, discharge from eyes or nose?
Mealworms make a fine treat, but should not exceed more than 10% of daily intake. Growing chicks need to eat a main ration of chick starter to ensure they have the proper amount of protein, vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
 
They are eating and drinking.. They are on chick starter but I added this to it so they would eat more I just check on the and their was was gone as I only filled it half way to see if they are drinking it good which they are and their food was also gone as well. They aren't snezzing much anymore and the cough isn't there no discharge from eyes or nose.. I gave them probitics also in there water it also has helped they are still shacking their heads tho... Poop is looking much better also could it just be a cold?
