Two dead chicks with no injuries

I didn’t see any mold. I cleaned out all of the wet chips and scraped off the wet muck from the floor and let it sit to dry out. Then I went back inside and scraped the rest out. I put fresh wood chips down and I am going to pick up some Corid. Should I give the corid to my adults and 6-week-olds too? They are together in a separate pen from the chicks but close enough to be able to hear each other. I had to put the chicks back in their coop because I had to leave. I replaced everything fresh though so will they be ok until I get back?
 
Can you go take some pictures of the coop you have these chicks in now?

The problem with mold is that by the time you see it that means there is enough to have proliferated into growth. Mold is a spore and can be present even if it's not visible.

I'm so sorry about your babies! :hugs
 
Here are some pictures of chicks in the coop and the coop’s space and ventilation. I also provided a picture of an Egyptian Fayomi I found acting strange. It is panting and laying around. It got up when I went to pick it up and ran around but was still panting. I am using the app and for some reason it will only let me post one picture at a time so... lots of messages.

Another one...
This is the ventilation. The tarp is meant to prevent leaks that sometimes occur. Obviously it doesn’t always work.

It looks like they are all as far away as possible from the heat lamp.
I'd take it out immediately.
