Hope you know that I'm not saying it *is* worms or Marek's. Many other things it could be, but I just a made a guess as to what I thought it could be based on my experiences and the symptoms you described. Worms are easy enough to treat for with the right amount of the right wormer. Most bacterial infections are treatable is caught soon enough.

Vaccination for Mareks just means they will not show symptoms. They can still carry the disease to others and die from it. It is carried and brought in by wild birds. If any more die, I'd have them necropsied. With what you have told us, it could be so many things - like Kathy said. And yes, it could affect your hens as well.
I'm so sorry for your loss, but also good to hear you didn't lose them all. I've used clamp lights occasionally, they will loosen over time.The heat lamp fell down onto the chick bin while we were out visiting my grandmother. I feel horrible imagining them unable to escape the heat. All my daughter's new little Easter Eggers are gone, and my Faverolle pullets. The male Fav is doing okay, and the packing peanut Fav is in rough shape but trying to make it. I had other bins with the Marans, Dominiques and meat boys so they are all safe, at least. Very upset. I usually use hanging lamps for the chicks, but they had a clamp. I am guessing when my husband put it up he just didn't screw it down tight enough.
