Chickens Dying

[xx Georgina xx]

Hi,
I recently had 2 hens Dying from a disease or something those 2 were from the same batch that me and my mum bought from the market.
They died with empty stomachs as they refused to eat.
I have tried different ways.
Leave a hen in the bedding with food and water with the door wiude open she has fresh air and shade following with food and water.

We did the same for the other one but out her in a cage where the others can see her with fresh air and shade following with food and water but also being covered in mite stuff.
She ate, but not enough.

I have 1 hen left from that batch the others were not from the same place or were bought at another time.

I want to know what to do in case if she stops eating and drinking.
Any idea?

Here's an article on tube/syringe feeding and watering birds that won't eat. Of course, this only prolongs their life, and you'll need to find out what the original problem is (probably an illness) if any more chickens stop eating.
Also, you may try tempting them to drink by dipping their beak in water. They may eat better if you give them treat foods instead of their regular food, such as scrambled eggs, mealworms, yogurt, bread, etc.

Hello
We have been dropping water on the beak and but the beak in the bowl but it didn't help.
We don't know what is wrong. As they are from the same batch it could possibly be an disease that they got or possibly the rats that we had (we scared them off)
They do get other things when they are not well like outside in the grass but she stands at the door waiting to go in
