Did you get them from different places? Are they different ages? Since they all seem to have different symptoms, I am wondering if you have more than one issue. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Aloha. These chicks are from different broods and different ages but both are sick. It sounds very much like they have eaten, ingested, drank something that is sickening them. They need a good chick starter and, at this point, one with antibiotics in the feed. Gently wash their backsides with warm water or use a bit of vaseline to keep that area clean and open. Isolate them. Birds are very susceptible to disease, viruses, infections. Do your best, keep them each in a small cage with soft bedding, plenty of water, no drafts, nice and warm, and give them a chance to pull out of it. Watch your others chickens carefully. Take note whether there is any peeling paint anywhere, if a neighbor has sprayed insecticide on plants or lawn, a sick (or dead) wild bird is in your yard. All you can do is keep feeders and waterers as clean as possible, clean the pen and coop regularly, dust them for mites, put vaseline on their legs every couple months to prevent those crippling mites that settle there, and generally take a good look at them each morning. Any change, isolate and treat. These things happen. If another one becomes sick, I would seriously consider putting down all the sick ones immediately.

Hate to say but it sounds like maybe they got into something poisonous

no they didnt get into anything they are in my house or on the back porch in a cage unable to get to anything, the silkie is doing fine now I gave it some apple cider vinager water and some antibotic then fed it some hard boiled egg she is doing great keeping close eye on her.
the cornish rock is no longer sticking it head out and back or chirping its just acting alittle tired but is eating and drinking gave it the apple cider vinager water and some antibotic also will just see how it does tonight
