Another death please help

I made a post yesterday about 2 deaths that have occurred these past couple days the other 2 where kind of beaten up when we found one but today this one threw me off. I had a hunch it could be predators but today I found a hen 1 year same breed as the other hen that had died yesterday out in the run ( unlike the other two who had died overnight ) I went to go smash them some pumpkins and found her laying on her side. ( completely normal this morning ) her skin was very yellow and had no wounds she also looked a bit skinny but wasn’t sure if she looked like that because she’s deceased... I checked on her group that she hung out with and all of them had proper color. The only thing I could think of food wise was some new natures best organic treats that I got ( they were marked off big time but they weren’t expired and I didn’t find any recalls so I thought they were just getting rid of them? ) I took the feeder out that had that food in it but besides that I haven’t changed anything else in their feed…
So I don’t know if these past couple days have been freak accidents or they’re all connected?

Do you have pictures of any of the birds? Is the feed moldy?

Did you ever wormed her? Did she lay? What was her normal diet?

Yes she was wormed and she laid almost every day
Diet: high protein layer, vegetables and fruit scraps

Feed wasn’t moldy
I don’t have any pictures of what the hen looked like when she passed

I'm sorry! That is concerning. I suspect the deaths are connected somehow and the wounds on the other two were caused by the other chickens pecking them after they died.

Have you checked them all for mites/lice? Do they have access to anything poisonous (berries, compost, etc)?

I'd cut out all fruit and veggie scraps until this is resolved.

Thank you I will update after I go through everything

I would refridgerate (don't freeze) the body and contact your state poultry extension about arranging a necropsy so you can get some answers. Clearly something is going on and if it's a disease they'll be able to tell you what it is
