Flock is dying and I Don't Know Why... HELP!

[ChickenIzzy]

*UPDATE* She did make it through the night and majority of today without getting worse! I am SO relieved. She is still eating and drinking (mainly drinking from the dropper), but I'm not forcing her. I bead the water on the end of the dropper and she willingly drinks it. She still very slow and seems weak, but will stand for an extended time with her head up. This is huge given how quickly the first four passed away. Also, none of my other 12 seem to need critical care so far today! Praying with continued vigilance, this crisis is over!

Thanks for the tip on the cottage cheese. I won't give them anymore while on the medication!

*FINAL UPDATE* In case anyone goes through something similar, Corid saved my flock. My last sick chicken made a full recovery and is perfectly healthy now and no others have become ill. I did move everyone back on to the starter food until they start laying, but the food wasn't the issue. I also started using food grade DE in their coop everytime I clean it (if nothing else it definately does keep the smell down and keeps it dry like everyone said it would) and I add it to their foor twice a week. Thank you all for the replies and support, it was incredibly stressful feeling so helpless when they were all getting sick and dying!

I'm so glad that you didn't lose any more chickens, and that you found the cause of illness. Thanks for the update.
