Help salmon faverolle not eating

This morning when I went out, one was looking a bit better and one was looking worse. They both drank their water and will be getting coxyclear and and injection of norodine. They get coxyclear for 2 days and the injection for 5 days. They have gotten quite thin and they both have poop around their vent. Can I do anything to tempt them to eat? The one that is a small bit better her poop looked like this

You can wet their food down with a little water or egg yolk to make a kind of mush; you can feed scrambled egg; you can try cat food. Just dip a little on their beak and if they are interested they should start eating more. Basically try anything you think they will like but soft seems to work better. The poop looks like that because they’re not eating. I think of it as “starvation poop.” There is a technical explanation but I don’t remember it.
 
I brought 4 to the vets, 8 are poorly, but one is not. They had high temperatures, and one had a low temperature. She said a respiratory infection as they were sneezing and gasping. They all got a steroid and get norodine in their beaks for 5 days, they get engemycin injections for 3 days, some have lice, I couldn't buy anything to kill the lice as the farm store was closed. She said once I treat them with everything else they'll be ok till next week to get deliced.
