What is wrong with baby chicks?

Hello,
I just rescued/bought 4 baby Silkie chicks(2 6weeks/2 2 month olds) They look small and the worst part is many feathers are missing and on the larger chick around the eyes and back there are no feathers and looks crusty a white color. I don't know if this could be lice or lacking nutrients. The bigger one eats and drinks, haven't seen the others do it yet. Any suggestions on what i should do at this point? They will not go into the coop, until I know what is wrong.I took pictures but don't know how to post them.
Thank you
Diane

| Dip their beaks in sugar water repeatedly. And make sure they eat. You can't leave it up to an anorexic pet to eat. Something----crushed shrimp, mayonaise, cat food---might appeal to them. Good luck. |
