For adult birds, .5 ml poly vi sol per day is the correct dose. I'm sorry that you lost your birds
Has it been really hot where you are? Silkies do not like the heat.
I would take the advice of ChickensareSweet and make sure that there are no more bugs. I have found that the bugs really attack once the chicken is notvfeeling well. I would see about getting some electrolytes for chickens and using that in their water. I'm not so sure about the antibiotics...there is nothing that says that there was a bacterial infection.
As for more protein and anemia...cooked chicken livers will help with both. I know it sounds nasty but, it will help them out tremendously and they are cheap!
