Yes I agree best to get them tested, in the meantime try a little cider vinegar and honey in there water or a good pigeon tonic, it could be anything from bad food to one of the nasties, droppings, weight and eyes are the first thing to look at, definitely isolate and quarantine in the meantime

Less lively than normal perhaps rather than lying lifeless on the floor?

If they perk up on approaching them, wouldn't be too worried, weather fewer daylight hours and moult could all be factors causing birds to be less active. Think eating & drinking OK is also a good sign ... but pop them in a box each, and watch them for a couple of days, with cider vinegar in their water too , just to be sure.

i have two young hens that look the same but thay are in heavy moult, some dont cope with the moult & show signs of stress.
