It sounds like cocci. Although medicated feeds have a growth inhibitor in them for coccidiosis it is not fool proof. Many chicks still get cocci while on medicated foods so I prefer to treat my own way instead of wasting extra money on the starter.
If you have rolled oats I would add that to their food. Put it in the blender so it will chop it up a bit more fine for consumption. You also can add some hard boiled egg to that. I would remove the chicks from the medicated food and just use regular starter and each week treat with Sulmet. It has been working great for me these last months with that schedule.
