This sounds serious so I'm bringing in some more experienced people.

Hang in there!

Do you by chance have any pictures of the areas and the chicks you're willing to share?

Does the wall have holes in it? Or is it a solid divide? You can give it to them if it’s contagious if you carry it on your shoes/hands/clothes so wash everything when you go in between them

Yes it does have holes but i sealed it today and im changing cloth when entering the new ones. Can it be Newcastle because im very stressed as it is very lethal as i heard

You've got a massive undertaking do you have any help? We really don't know what it is, just offering suggestions. It's better safe than sorry. If you can quarantine the sick you may be able to save the rest if it's spreading as fast as it sounds.

They need separate feed, water, everything. I would get disposable gloves, and either booties, you can put over your shoes and discard or wear separate shoes when entering each area.

I'm not versed in the treatment for wry neck, but you may need to give them some supplements, but check with the vet on that to make sure it doesn't interfere with their prescription.

I’m not sure, as the conditions you described might cause coccidiosis if you stop treating them

Wry neck doesn't cause leg paralysis. Can you double check they're definitely vaccinated for Marek's disease?

There is a prayer thread

You could ask for prayers here https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...lowing-jesus-christ-everyone-welcome.1135475/, but Godspeed to you.

Mareks there’s only one thing you can do if they have it, which is to separate your healthy birds in a strict bio security area
As for the birds that already have it, I’m sorry it’s almost always fatal if that’s what it is
