Are my hens sick

Just fed them 11.5 cups of food and took a video before I did to show how they’re acting and how they follow me everywhere (the red rooster is in rooster jail for trying to attack me)
Heat lamp in there because it was raining and super cold so I wanted them to have a place for external heat (well technically it’s in there 24/7 once winter hits but I only turn it on when it’s below freezing or when it’s cold and wet)
 
Picked up some feed

Here’s a short summary before I say everything in detail so I save you time: Ok so it started with definitely some sickness a month ago, thought it was coccidiosis but wasn’t, lost some chickens but the only thing I could figure out was that if I take them inside and keep them warm they’re fine, thought I was out of the woods but not long ago they started acting off again, assuming it’s some sort of disease or fighting maybe I really don’t know. SYMPTOMS CURRENTLY: Some are a little weak, No eggs, Pale combs, Some have loss of feathers on the backs of their heads, Not active, Some act like they forgot how to properly drink and get water all over their faces, and Ruffled feathers. PREVIOUS SYMPTOMS: Super weak, Diarrhoea, Some stuggled walking, No eggs, Pale combs, Stood with tail feathers down, and Ruffled feathers.

Here’s the detailed story:
November, 12 My main and oldest rooster Foggy dies and all my hens are super stressed and my other main younger rooster is super weak and has all of the symptoms I listed in previous symptoms. I immediately assumed Coccidiosis because of the way they sat with their tail feathers down so I gave him corid. After 2 days he acted spunky and normal again and I put him back outside. 6 days later on Nov, 20 he died and for the first time 2 hens were sick, I did the same thing and they were outside in a week. About midway through them being inside another rooster got sick and he was inside for a week after the two hens and all three are still alive. After that rooster went back outside I thought I was out of the woods but for the past week they’ve all had the current symptoms and I’ve been giving vitamins for the past two days and they’ve been acting a bit better but still are acting weird and it’s mainly two that I’m worried about because they seem weaker than the others. This whole time my guineas haven’t changed and act normal which is weird.

I've had the same symptoms in a few of my girls. 2 died. I gave the remaining pale looking one and eraser sized dot of iver on the back of her head. She's not getting worse but still pale. You figure it out yet? It's not overcrowding cuz my birds are definitely not as they freerange on 5 of 20 acres

Some still pale, I upped the protein and they seem to be doing better. Molting could be the problem but I really don’t know. It’s not mites because I sprayed with permitherin not too long ago and completely cleaned out the coop. Just keep an eye on them and take them inside if they have struggle roosting at night
