Need help with sickly flock PLEASE!

What are you doing to keep them cool?
Are you currently working on expanding their space? LOTS of ventilation and keeping things as dry as you can will improve their quality of life and reduce your work load as well.
I had been giving them ice cubes in water, fresh or frozen watermelon, frozen strawberries.
Since they've been sickly I cut out nearly all treats except a sprinkle of scratch each day. I started the frozen 1/3 food to 2/3 water I was told about yesterday.
Yes the new area is huge compared to what they currently have! They will be going from the joke of a pre-fab money guzzler to a 10'x20' fenced in run and I'll move pre-fab inside it til I can make coop area within the new run setup.

How much shade do they have? That is one of the most important things to offer. I also run a floor fan across the run floor.
 
I agree, I would start the Corid.

Cut out the elixir, the electrolytes, etc.

Corid water only and fresh food.

Please post some photos of the poop and of their faces.
Ok I'll make a trip back to TS n get the corid.
Keep in mind it poured down last night.
Here's poop I just found when coming out to do pics.
And their coop/run...I know it's pathetic- but I was 1 in a million suckered by $ n cuteness and obviously NOT nearly enough research before purchasing this junk.
I may have to try later for face pics...they r all preening and ignoring me n I have health problems so difficult for me to maneuver to get pics.
Is scratch ok to give them during all this or should I cut it out completely?

They can have a bit of scratch, just make sure they have access to grit free choice.
 
I've finally been able to try to get a few pics...my son-in-law developed COVID over the weekend and now their 2 yr old n my daughter has it. So I have 3 month old baby trying to take care of him...his symptoms just began today.
The first few pics r of the sickest one and it began with her having the symptoms... then the last pics r of only other chick showing symptoms...Polish has been sneezing off n on...he had much more energy than he did over the weekend. But I did try to get pics of his tail feathers...all messed up on top of his back there at his tail feathers.
