I recently acquired 2 Ayam Cemani chicks as a gift. When they came, one was much smaller than the other but I didn't think much of it. She wasn't as frisky as the other was. Well, fast forward a week later and now she is incredibly weak and bone thin. She was eating and drinking fine before, so I'm not sure what's going on. They both seem to be wheezing a bit but I've applied Vet RX and I'm not entirely sure what else to do. Please help.
 
I've raised many chicks in the past and haven't really encountered anything like this

Is she eating and drinking? What is that on her feathers? Looks powdery. What does her poop look like?
Her feathers seem fine, she's eating and drinking.. She keeps getting poop matted to her butt and I keep gently wiping it off. But she's absolutely bone thin and whenever she's sleeping she looks like she's a corpse
 
Please post some photos of her poop.
What are you feeding?

Any lice/mites on the chicks?
The wheezing is concerning - how's the ventilation in the brooder? Could be respiratory illness. Where did these chicks come from?

Having pasty butt at that age, is she getting too hot?

Dont think I've seen any mites on her. Here is a picture of droppings and her booty

Who did you buy them from?
Do you have a link to the seller's website or advertisement?
I mean can you ask the person who gifted them to you for this info?
 
Looks like there's blood in the poop(?!)

Corid can be found at TSC in the cattle section. Liquid Corid dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid dose is 1 1/2 tsp per gallon of water. Give for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.

Don't give any extra vitamins that contain B1(Thiamine) during the treatment period.

Wash the chick's vent carefully with a little warm soapy water. Dry her well! Apply a little vaseline or ointment to the vent.
