Please help!! I've had 5 chicks die in 12 hours

I've had 4 vorwerk chicks die in 12 hours. They are pooping blood, but it's just straight bright red blood. No actual feces. They get really weak, have a seizure (?), then die. I've tried departing them as soon as I notice they are sick, but by that time they don't seem to be savable. They are from eggs I ordered online that I hatched. I have medicated feed for them, probiotics and electrolytes in their water. And as soon as I noticed the blood I added baycox to the water at 1.5mL per a liter. This morning I woke up to the 4th one dead, and a cochin I'm a completely different brooder box extremely weak with no bloody stool. Idk what to do. I've raised hundreds of birds and have never had this happen. I'm beside myself.
Pooping blood could be coccidiosis.
Are you in the US?
 
I work at a vet. I'm taking a chick and a sample to look at tonight when I go in
Great! Since you work at a vet, can you get some red rubber catheter tubes for tube feeding? A size 10 french will work for chicks.
