Great! I'm so glad they are improving.

That is probably something completely different...not coccidiosis related.

I would guess a respiratory illness.
Can you take a video of the swollen eyed ones or get a few clear pictures?

Almost every chick has dry skin or flaky skin under their feathers, but they are doing better. Is this normal?

No I don't think it's normal.
Give me an hour...I think there is a thread out there with this same exact thing on a silkie.
I'm looking for it now, I don't remember what it was.

Sorry for your loss. Silkies are beautiful chickens. Good luck with their recovery.

See if it looks the same to you:

Those look like sores, this is straight up flaky skin

I could just pick it off and it comes right off. It is only under their wings

Could the flakes be eggs of some kind? Or a reaction to the mite spray? I’m clueless about this stuff but those are the two things that popped in my head

The reaction to the more spray is exactly what I was thinking ! Because it wasn’t there til after. That is also what I think caused their eyes to swell. I specifically sprayed under their wings when I sprayed for mites so that’s what I think it is just not positive
