We have lost 2 chickens. We now have one sick. They turn listless, disoriented, and comb looks bad. Then they die in 1-2 days. Any clues? Any help thanks? Chickens are one and two year old. This is first problem with sickness.

They should be immune to your coccidia strain by now, unless they came from somewhere else or you have brought in another chicken lately that had another strain. Corid liquid 2 tsp per gallon of water for 5 days would treat that. There are many different causes for illness, but if you don't have any respiratory symptoms, I might go ahead and treat for cocci.
 
I'd also de-worm with fenbendazole 10% (Safeguard or Panacur, liquid or paste). You will find them in the cattle, goat and horse sections of most feed stores.
