I have a batch of silkies and this time around they have been dying one by one…when I first got them I figured I would lose a few but they are now about 2 months old and I have one that I don’t think is going to make it through the day. Legs splayed out, acts like it can’t walk, wings are all over the place…I started with 14 and am now down to 5. I have vitamins in their water, probiotics in another water container and starter chick feed. I have attached a picture of it just this morning…I put him in his own little container last night in a playpen in the house with a heat lamp not knowing what else to do

It has been fine up until a few days ago and now they all have diarrhea…that’s what is stumping me is that nothing has changed and this is just sudden…I thought we were past the point of them dropping one at a time

Probably Coccidiosis, I'd get some corid, & start treating them asap.

Can the chick stand at all?

What do you feed?

Photos of poop?

Show photos of brooder/housing. Have they been inside this whole time or outside in coop/run?

Could be Coccidiosis. Corid is the treatment.

He tried but not really.

They are inside in a huge play yard for babies…there are only the 5 and this play yard is 5ft by 5ft. I haven’t put them with my other chickens yet as I don’t want to infect them with whatever is going on with this bunch.
Don’t have pics of poop but it is light color and runny…no smell
Feed is from TSC and it is Purina Start and Grow Starter and Grower Medicated Laying Chick Feed Crumbles.
