More info is needed, and if you can post a pic or two, please do. It's really difficult to help with such a vague description.

Try to answer the questions in the following link and repost.

Worms or coccidia can kill a lot of birds rather quickly.......... how old are they and when were they last wormed?

Could be botulism which can be from moldy feed. Not much you can do but make sure to take away anything that might be moldy and give fresh feed and water. One article I read said to induce diarrhea with Epsom salts but I probably wouldn't do that. I put sulmet in the water for five days. I also gave one half dropper of polyvisol per day.
