Advise Needed !!!!!

Check them over good, and make sure broody isn't pecking a hole in their head, which will kill them. I would get CORID (amprolium) and treat their water.

What I suggested, is in addition to what PD said

I had a similar issue, but a little more gory.
Although my pullets were a little older and all the same age in the coup. I tried everything and finally put a red light for night time and it stopped. I found that one would peck the other and draw blood and then I would lose the pecked hen.
birds are drawn to the color red and red light makes everything look red.

Do you have any grit/sand with them---if not I would go out there now and grab a hand full of sand from some where and put it in a tray/for them. I order sand by the dump truck loads(because I raise 1000's) and start putting some in a pan by 2 weeks and sprinkle some over the top of their feed every time I add food(and only chick feed). You might be got another problem, but go do that asap. I rarely loose a chick after the first few days. Good Luck

Thank you, im new to raising chicks, I just went outside and did that so I think maybe that was what the reason for them dying was??
Thank You

Years back I had problems like this----seem to start at 2 to 3 weeks old----a old timer told me to throw a hand full of sand in their brooder(they were not on the dirt) they stopped dying---ever since I do that at about 2 weeks on---I have it hauled in by the dump truck loads----I use it for brooder, bottoms, in chicken coops, a lot of things and for sure to add to the chicks feed. I do not know if that was your problem??? It appeared to be mine years back. I raised over 10,000 chicks in the last 3 years----very few die after the first few days----all Have sand. The next 10,000 will too!!
