As long as you can maintain the brooder at 80-85, yes. Sick birds! like your two smallest, need the heat. Trust me, even my full grown peafowl like 80-85 degrees when they are sick.

What wattage would you suggest

I am the wrong person to ask... When I have a sick one, I use a space heater or the fireplace to heat up the room. In brooders I use heat plates.

Just going to stick with the heat light, also do you know if its possible to get straddle leg this late on?

You should probably start weighing all of them at the same time every morning, 'cause crops full of food can give false readings. Do not be alarmed if when you weigh them tomorrow they are lighter, I would expect that. the difference won't be much, so go ahead and give them the drops as I showed above.

Give orange Gatoade. It's very hard to do without a tube, but try to get 2-3 ml Gatorade in her now, then 2-3 ml again in 60-90 minutes.
