Could you fill out this template?

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.)
2) What is the behavior, exactly.
3) How long has the bird been exhibiting symptoms?
4) Are other birds exhibiting the same symptoms?
5) Is there any bleeding, injury, broken bones or other sign of trauma.
6) What happened, if anything that you know of, that may have caused the situation.
7) What has the bird been eating and drinking, if at all.
8) How does the poop look? Normal? Bloody? Runny? etc.
9) What has been the treatment you have administered so far?
10 ) What is your intent as far as treatment? For example, do you want to treat completely yourself, or do you need help in stabilizing the bird til you can get to a vet?
11) If you have a picture of the wound or condition, please post it. It may help.
12) Describe the housing/bedding in use
 
They are sasso layer 4 week old chick 750 in total

They look like sleeping while standing but also actively running around. The vet told me to administer amprolium and oxytetracycline but it isnt helping them when ever i enter the coop i find one or two chicks at this state( falling on side or back unable trying to stand up) and 10 chick are already dead now😭. I have given them lassota Newcastle vaccine at 21 age.
 
I’d separate all the sick ones, even if they’re only a little sick, maybe it’ll stop it from spreading as quick
Did you vaccinate for Mareks?
The hatcheries said they are vaccinated. The only vaccine i gave them was lassota newcastle vaccine at 21days old
