Did you have them in a brooder? If the answer is no then they have been chilled to death. If yes check your source of chicks too in addition to putting liquid paraffin in their drinking water to prevent crop compaction . Kindly post photos of their unit here too. Otherwise would advice you seek farm visit for problem diagnosis by vet nearby if it is within your means.
