Please post photos of the brooder, poop and chicks, their legs too.
How does one know if brooder pneumonia is an issue - were the chicks in respiratory distress?
Coccidiosis cannot be treated with ACV. You need a Coccidiostat. Corid is the most common one used, you can find it in the cattle section of stores like TSC.
Liquid Corid dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid Dose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
Do not add any extra vitamins/electrolytes that contain B1(Thiamine) to food or water during the course of treatment.
How old are the chicks now? If more than a few days old, splayed leg would be something odd. Could be they have curled toe paralysis instead due to nutritional deficiency? Again. Photos would be helpful.
I highly recommend that you try to source a commercial chick feed so the chicks have a balanced diet. It's extremely difficult to make your own and get the formula correct.
