pasty vent or blocked vent??
It's really shocking which Antibiotics you are giving ? How their dropping looks like ?

Because swelling of stomach could be a cause of Coccidiosis when it spread it cause the inflammation of intestines

I didn't observe closely of her vent

And it's necessary to use antibiotics
Because we are against vaccination
And all my flock are wild birds

I just give them as prevention method

Before last year I got lot of mortality
(Suck viral disease)
That's why i use antibiotics

May be there was block vent
I see at once it's so clean
There is no clue drops from vent

Still she was sick walk swelling stomach

And I'm an indian

And I feed Pearl millet, tiny rice
To my little chick
I do this from my start

And it's to be 6 year
Mentioned chicken flock

Sorry about your chicks.
Can you tell us where you live - are you in the US or another country?
What antibiotic are you using?
What is the feed that you are giving-can you tell us the ingredients? If you are giving things besides chick starter, do your chicks have grit?
How is your brooder set-up?

I see swelling of both leg joints too? Are the chicks able to walk?

I'm an Indian
And feed Pearl millet, tiny rice to them

I never use chick starter

Because my flock was wild birds

And I give levofloxacin, tetracycline hydrochloride solution

And my chick walk cool

Mother give them heat so I don't use brooder

antibiotics kill good bacteria as well as bad. Maybe all the gut bacteria is gone and they can't digest the food? Give them some yogurt, probiotics.
