A couple years in, but a newby still

Hi there! I recently (a few weeks ago) hatched another 13 chicks. All seem to be doing well but tonight I found one has a crooked beak and one cannot stand-she just falls over to the side. The one with the crooked beak actually is running around and eating somehow and seems to be doing ok but I'm very concerned about the one that cannot stand. I've read about wry neck and cocci and mold illness. She's the biggest of all the chicks but I fear she's dying. She keeps closing her eyes and just cannot stand and walk. I have no idea what to do. I know of vitamin deficiencies and tomorrow if she's still alive will pick up something for that but I just can't comprehend how she was fine this morning but by time I got home from works she's in this shape. It's so sad to see. Anyone have any clue what could have happened? My previous brood is now ten weeks old and large and healthy. I just am concerned that something may happen to the remaining dozen and don't know what to do. What would cause a beak to grow crooked all of a sudden and what on earth could be happening to cause the other baby to be in the shape she's in? I put her upright and she just flops backwards and lays on her side again. It's like she tries to walk but flops backward and can't get back up. It's heart breaking to watch.
