Looks like the 'black' might be a mottled, if it is mostly white with a black 'stripe' on its back then it is mottled.

Do you know how to tube feed them? Chickens are pretty easy, but still would run the risk of them inhaling the food if you don't get it right. You could tube feed them with warm baby parrot handfeeding formula. Or you could also try to just let them eat it off a spoon. With adults you don't have to be as careful about the temp. If it is just slightly warm, you are good. I still give my parrot a spoonful now and then of ground up pellets and juice or water and then microwave for a few seconds, stir it well, and then again with my finger to be sure it's not too hot. You could do that with chicken crumbles too if it's easier since you have them on hand. If they are drinking, some gatorade would be good, help give them some energy. Also if they are fluffed up, a heat lamp will help them not waste energy staying warm. Extra heat helps them heal faster. Oh, another food you could tempt them with is slightly warmed cornbread or even just a muffin or bread with how much chickens love bread.

An injected antibiotic would work faster and doesn't depend on them drinking, if a feed store nearby carries Tylan, you can give 1/4 mL by injection every day.

With babies it has to be pretty hot, but not too hot. Too hot will of course burn them, too cold will impact their crop, so you would need a thermometer for a baby.

If they won't eat, you could take them to the vet for an injection of antibiotic and a tube feeding. Or maybe someone is near you that knows how to tube feed and could show you how.

I hope you can save them!
