x2Probably coccidiosis.

Great advice! If one can't afford $6 they probably shouldn't have chickens. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it's what I think.Aristopet have a product called " Sulphadim " for control and treatment of ceacal coccidiosis and enteritis in birds. It contains 70 mg/ ml sulfadimidine. You can buy this product at most pet shops in the bird section for around $6 . Do you have these chicks under a lamp?
Fair enough, but taking care of chickens properly is not inexpensive like many think. Heck, even the cost of running in a proper heat lamp isn't cheap.Before we jump on OP about maybe they shouldn't have chickens.......
OP is probably a kid who does not have his own money to spend on chickens that really belong to the whole family.

Argh family won’t let me but the medicine because Ive spent too much money on chickens already -.-
it has survived the night, it looks a bit better, pecking at a little spilt food although I still have to duck its beak into water.
Any non medicine home remedies???
They're in Australia, I think they're called something else there.You can give it some powdered milk or buttermilk if you have some. If its Coccidiosis, this will help slow the disease until you can treat. However, this is not a cure-- you'll still need Corid or Sulmet.
