Am having 1 rooster 5 chicken. In pecking last order hen ran and got injured in eye and died y/day. Close rooster today not ate food and dies today

Hello and welcome to BYC! :frow Glad you joined.
Something else is going on. Animals don't die from a broken heart.
How old are your birds? Can you post pictures of them and their enclosure?
2-years. they were healthy, active, eat food well daily. she will come to me close, will not ran. she will jump in my hand and shoulder also in the past. in pecking order she is the last.
on saturday, for escaping from another hen peck, she ran in to another room, whose borders made of mesh having metal wire cover plastic. on the cutting end of the enterance, little metal wires found out. while running, get struck in eye and sick for 3-4 hours. This i don't know when i went early though she was sitting because of other bird.
When i went second time, found dead few minutes before, because her body still in warm.

I confirmed from the picture taken. Herewith attached.

Next day rooster was active in the morning, but not ate. He continued and when I gone
second time, he was drowsy and heads leaning down. No food in the stomach. He was
standing alone in small room roof inside. I feeded food but he died. Photos not taken that time, am upset. differently went y/day. water comes from his eyes when we spoke with him.

Kindly advice what to do during that time.

I read that sometimes when they have respiratory illnesses they drop their neck. Had that symptom with a hen, within a day she got really bad,so we gave her a short or ample spectrum antibiotics and a vaccine for the avian flu, Newcastle and can't remember the other one it included. She started to get better really quick, in two days she was up and running and now is completely healthy. Have you vaccinated your chickens and Roosters?

no symptoms for hen. she was vaccinated 2-months back. morning also i saw active. came for food. evidence in the small room and in her eyes proved it was accident. Rooster also vacinnated 2-months back, found active in morning. when he becomes ill, head down, I kept his head close to my ear and heard cold block breath.

All of them were healthy and active till the previous day night, i seen and observed it.
