Oh, thank you so much!The yellow on the side of her beak is just her coloring, but does she also have something red inside her beak? Have you given them anything red to eat (berries/tomato, etc.)?
Could they have suffered injury or been bitten by something?
Are they being picked on by others?
Are they new to you or have you had them a good while?
Is it just these 2 that are affected?
The brown poop is cecal poop, but does have mucous. Hard to know which way to go on this one.
I'd still want to give vitamin therapy and get them on chick starter or an all flock feed, cut out extra treats, plus treat for Coccidiosis. A sulfa antibiotic may be the way to go, this will help treat Coccidiosis and infection and you can still give the vitamin therapy.
Do you see any lesions or yellow/pasty material inside the beaks?

I have Corid.Amoxicillin can help with bacterial infection, it won't treat Coccidiosis.
If you have a vet that can run a quick fecal float, that will give you the best info on whether or not to treat for that.
I was not able to today, but am taking a sample in tomorrow to my vet who hasn’t done a fecal float for a chicken. We’ll see how that goes.Were you able to get a fecal float?
They can stumble and have balance problems with Coccidiosis among 100s of other things.
