My chicks wont stand!!

[farmwood]

Hello i am new to this chicken raising thing and need some help. I have had two chicks for about a month. Today they wont stand they act like they cant walk, they lay down even to eat. One is worse off than the other it lays in the brooder with his head on the ground and wont hardly move at all.

They are leghorns and i have been feeding them non medicated chick starter.

After i read "what kind of bedding are you using" i feel really dumb i have been using cedar. The guy i got them from said i could use cedar but just looking its in very small quantities. I hope its not to late i have moved them out of there to fresh air and will not put any more cedar in with them.
