Is this Coccidiosis?

Those grains look a bit big for chicks not out where they can get grit.
Is it some kind of starter feed?
Are they going under the light to keep warm?
Is the light you have specifically for poultry?
Some heat lights, used in the food industry, can be covered with a safety coating of teflon which is highly toxic to poultry.

This bulb is a normal light bulb of 60 watts. Should I remove it? Everyone here uses these bulbs with no problems. Yes this is starter feed. Yes these grains look big but they dont eat these ones. I remove the big ones they only eat the small ones. I heard corid will help them against cocci in Reddit. They also said this poop is surely cocci. I only wanted to know that

I would work on getting them hydrated. Give a little sugar water or if you have electrolytes that would be good.

Can you tell us the temperature in the room?

Sorry to hear that the hen died. She would be finding grit for the chicks too so they can process the feed. Since she's not there, then it's up to you to provide some grit. Do you have some course sand that you can put in their area for them to pick at? Not a lot, just a little will be fine.

At 3 days old, I wouldn't be concerned about Coccidiosis yet. The lethargy is concerning, but I would look at other things - too hot, not drinking and not being able to process the feed without grit. See if they improve when you check on these things and make any needed adjustments.

I am giving them sugar water. How do i find grit for them. Does this seem to have grit in it? I have always given them this and in previous batches the mother didn’t use to be outside the hen used to be in this closet so i dont know how she found grit here. They didn’t have ant problems in previous ones

For this age of chicks and without a broody, yes - I would soak the feed overnight. Do it in small batches - just enough to feed them all in a day.

It will help soften up the corn a bit but they still need some grit to help process that efficiently. Do the best you can in picking out the largest pieces of corn. As they get a little older, they shouldn't have a problem handling those, but they are only a few days old right now.
If you've never had issues with feeding that feed, then I would almost assume that grit is added, but it wouldn't hurt to provide a small amount of course sand if you have any.

Thanks for such a complete reply. There was construction going on around here so I assume i will find some concrete. Will small( small enough for them to eat) sharp concrete rocks suffice?

I lookep up and this starter feed has all types of things from toxin binders to calcium carbonate. I dont know what that does but their seems to be no mention of grit. It has fishmeal and they mentioned some names of some amino acids

No there are no labels. Its sold in anything you can carry it in. Its just the staple brand of every chick raiser here.these are the ingredients probably

What should i feed the sick one though. Hes not eating on his own. I syringe fed him some rice powder mixed in water. He seemed to have pooped that. There is some feed in the crop of the two sick ones from yesterday. I noticed that now. They are not emptying. What does that tell us

I would say that the feed should have what's needed, especially since you've been using that before.

The one that is sick, do what you can to get fluid into her, then I would offer a little egg.
I honestly don't know anything about rice powder, but if it mixes with water o.k. then it's probably fine to give small amounts.
I'm going on the assumption that you are not in the US, so sometimes it's hard to make suggestions since I'm not familiar with what you have available.

The crops not emptying overnight, tells us that the chicks are not processing their feed - BUT if you have the light on all the time, then it's harder to gauge crop function, since chicks will eat at all hours when they have light.

If you have gravel or rocky soil on hand, chick sized grit can be sifted out through a large sieve or colander.

You still haven't mentioned how warm AND cool it is in the brooder. Get a thermometer and get an accurate reading. You need both warm and cool areas inside the brooder. Heat stress will kill chicks just as quickly as cold.

I assume you're not in the US? If you are, I'd get some Poutry Nutri-Drench and direct dose a few drops to the chicks as well as put some in their water. If that is not an option, I've used molasses diluted with some water as a substitute in a pinch (as molasses is a main ingredient in Nutri-Drench).
