Hello I've just joined and noticed your post.
I think it is a respritory issue(common cold) which as with a baby is more serious with chicks, you could use a cat crate put all three inside make sure you have a towel, bowl, vics vaporub or Eucalyptus oil on hand.
Boil a kettle add 1 tea spoon of vics or 1-2 drops as they are young to a bowl pour the water over put infront of the crate but so they can't touch it put the towel over only for 1-2 mins at a time then remove do a few times.
There isn't any medicene i can think of that would be safe for chicks.
Wishing you the best of luck.!!!!!I hope there ok.

Hi also you could put crushed garlic in the water and as they are not eating try and tempt them with some porridge, use water instead of milk warm though still you could even add some natural yogurt and then sprinkle some chick crumb and stir it mine go gaga for it.
Again best of luck!!!
