whats killing my chicks?.and my mom hen??

Was anything ever stored in that coop that could have spilled like ant poison or something? Otherwise I'd suspect some sort of mold too. The staggering thing just reminds me of my chicken when it got diazinon poisoning.

Get some Oxine AH and fog the entire spare coop and the birds in it. It is least expensive from amazon.com: Revival Animal Health online.

This site tells how to use it and when.

Bleach solution can be used to clean the coop, if that's what you have. (Not for use on your flock.) Personally I use white vinegar. Is there any way you can expose the spare coop to a lot of sunlight to help dry it out and help sanitize it?

If the birds are having respiratory problems, you could try some apple cider vinegar with cayenne pepper mixed in their water. To one gallon of water mix in 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 3/4 cup vinegar. You can also swab their nostrils with eucalyptus oil or VetRx on a q-tip.
