If mine I would probable treat for coccidiosis too. Do you have any Corid?

Probably should be treating for e. coli too based on all the available information posted

That's more difficult to treat because the antibiotics needed are not at feed stores.

I should have some, if not I will buy more ASAP. I was just keeping their box super clean.
Thanks !

Sounds like you already have some great ideas: change feed, give high dose amprolium, keep vent/scabbed area clean. It seems likely that crusty stuff is dried diarrhea, so keeping the skin clean of it would he helpful. I guess that your temperatures are good and they have clean water? Have you tried some probiotics in water, or a little yogurt? At about 3-7 days old, I start giving my keets and chicks some long (1-2 feet) edible plants (weeds, grass clumps, etc) with intact root ball from healthy soil, which I think helps to inoculate their gut with good microbes. I really hope that your remaining keets make it!
