Your first course of action is to put the chicks where they will be protected until you can give them a more secure house/run.

Move them temporarily inside to a garage, building or even inside to the laundry room.

Next. Get better photos of the injuries. If the vent(s) are damaged and bleeding, you will want to address that. Rinse the vents with warm soapy water and take some clear photos of the damage. Dry your chicks well so they don't get chilled and apply triple antibiotic ointment to any injuries.

Be sure that the chicks are not picking at each other's vents and causing more damage.

Your syntax is confusing. It's not clear if you think the chick died of illness or injury. Please try to improve your narrative so we can better help you.

Coccidiosis is a possibility, but it almost sounds like the other chicks are pecking at them. How much space do they have?

Is it treatable? If so how?

 

[Wyorp Rock]

Please get clear photos of the chick's vent(s) and their poop.

It would be useful to know what country you live in so we can assist you in finding the proper medication, if it comes down to illness needing treating.

Also, what has your weather been like in the last few weeks? What is your general climate there? It usually requires a lot of dampness and warm temperatures for coccidia to become numerous enough in the soil to be a problem to chickens.
