My chicks are sick, have frost bite and scaly leg mites?

They may possibly have mycoplasma (MG,) a chronic respiratory of chickens and other poultry. It is contagious and can be spread through the egg or by direct contact. The eyes look like they have conjunctivitis, which is common with MG. Tylan, Tylosin, or oxytetracycline are antibiotics that may treat symptoms when they have an outbreak.

There are some scaly leg mites in some pictures. Those are treated with applying vaseline or oil to the legs and rubbing it in twice a week for several weeks until new scales grow in.

Alao I see some frostbitten toe tips, and on the wattles of one. Frostbite of the feet may show up in the first week or two by the skin becoming black and shriveled. You may see the toes eventually fall off in a month or so. Wattles or combs will become rounded off eventually, but mild cases may heal.

You do need to provide grit if you are giving veggies and other things besides poultry feed. Look to see if the grower feed is around 18% protein. While some do o.k. at lower protein, I've found that feed like an all flock at around 18-20% protein works fairly well and it can be fed year round to chicks as well as adults, no having to switch feed. It also depends on where you live and what's available to you.

I agree, it does look like at least the one hen has Scaly Leg Mites. Apply an oil or vaseline to the legs/feet working up under the scales to help smother the mites. Apply at least once a week for a month. Do check them over for lice or mites on the body as well. Look around the vent, under the wings, etc. If you find bugs on them, then use a Permethrin based poultry dust or ask your friend what they recommend. Products may be different in Canada than the U.S.

Your birds seem to have respiratory illness. Whether it's Mycoplasma or a viral infection like Infectious Bronchitis, it's hard to know. I'd start them on antibiotics if they were mine. Tylan/Tylosin, Tetracyclines or Tiamulin would be what I'd use. Hopefully you can find some meds for them.
Clean out all the gunk from their eyes, flushing with saline. Put a little Terramycin eye ointment or Original Neosporin in the eyes. Pus will not dry up on its own even with antibiotic treatment, so you'll need to clean the eyes at least once daily to help them heal.

The feet may have some frostbite, hard to tell. Moving them to a warmer area like you have is a good idea. Keep bedding dry and just monitor the feet. They may swell some and blister, hopefully it's just a mild case and you won't see a lot of damage.

For the stiff leg walking, not sure if it's due to frostbite or something else. If you do have video, then it would be worth a look.
The BYC upload does not work, you'll need to upload to a platform like YouTube, then provide a link to the video.

So heres a YouTube video of my baby

i hope that link works. Im completely new to this so im not 100% sure how everything works yet? Thank you soooo much tho i really appreciate the advice im definitely going to be doing a bunch of things you suggested! Grit antibiotics and oiling their feet i know they did have lice or mites this summer i dusted them and their coop but i dont think it worked very well. Im going to do a whole clean of the coop and probably make them a brand new one dust it or spray it and them and then i might try planting some lavender i read somewhere mites dont like it

You need more ventilation in the coop.

Now should i give them antibiotics or do you think they will get over it on there own? Most of the frostbite is just there toes and it seems to be just the tips but it still worries me do you think they will be okay? Ive got them in a warm place right now! Their feets are nice and warm so im hoping no more frostbite

Awesome thank you! I read something about that but wasnt 100% sure if i had enough or not. Much appreciated

I would also clean the eyes with drainage with saline eye wash and tissues. Then twice a day use a dab of either Terramycin eye ointment or plain Neosporin in the eyes.

I'd focus on them eating a nutritionally balance feed for the majority of their intake.

For your pullet that has some stiff legs, it could be genetic or a deformity like Varus leg deformity since her joints point inward. You can try vitamin therapy to see if it helps. Give her 1/4 tablet B-Complex daily.
Frostbite may be a contributing factor as well, but the damage doesn't look too severe at this time.

coconut oil. It is a natural antifungal and better than oil. rub on the comb, legs and feet.
