You might also check where you buy chicken feed, or a store that deals with livestock. Look for amprollium, which is probably what it will be called there. In the UK many use Coxoid, another brand, but no idea what is available in UAE.
There is no virus or amprolium here, I checked the very few vets we have and they didn't have it, I'm giving my chicks acv and garlic in the water to make there immune system stronger

This one is the most concerning to me. What does the poop look like?

Can you soak soak your chick's bottom a couple of times a day in salt water. Pat dry, then apply a triple antibiotic ointment on the vent?

As long as they have plenty of room they should heal well. Gentian violet, an antiseptic, anti-fungal medicine can be used to color the red areas dark blue to keep them from pecking each other. Pine tar can also be used for that. Good luck with your chickens.

If you are not able to get a commercial balanced chicken feed, you can mix grains such as corn, wheat, barley, millet, sorghum, oats, animal or fish protein, and add vitamin b complex and calcium to balance out the diet. Grinding feed together can help to prevent picking out the tastiest bits. Here is some reading about poultry feed around the world, and recipes:

The Poop is a chocolate brown color, though it does vary and isnt frizzy with bubbles. I will wash their vents in salt baths and they do seem to be getting better, thank you for your help again Wyorp Rock.

Thank you for the articles, the chickens are getting better. Your advice helped a lot.
 
I have been giving both of them salt baths once a day and 1 of them has begun to become much more active while the full white ones condition has gotten extremely concerning

the chick is currently being kept in a box of clean sand, with food water and warmth. And the black and white chick. This chick has become very skinny so much that I can feel the bones as I hold it. It's dropping are now a brown white colour. The chick isn't very active and is hunched and puffed while usually sleeping as it does. As you can see in the photos, it seems to have a very obvious but if red flesh on its vent. Is this a prolapses vent or something else. Please tell me how serious this is and how I can possibly make it better.
 
Sorry that the one chicken is worse and losing weight. It sounds like the chick has a prolapse or damage to the vent. Being less active and weak sound like coccidiosis. I had suggested amprollium earlier, but sulfa antibiotics can be used to treat coccidiosis if you can get some. I would give some plain yogurt to soothe the bowel. I would keep trying to get it to eat some wet mushy feed, and give electrolytes and vitamins.

Thank you for the advice again, I'll start giving it yogurt and some electrolytes. I'll see if I can get these sulfate antibiotics. I'll keep you updated on its development
