No, I wouldn't start them on antibiotics because what are you going to medicate for exactly? It's more likely that her system was weakened and bad bacteria took over than there being some real problem. She had a terrible background, was emaciated, and had no worming history. I think it was just too much for her and even if it was something she ate around there, likely the other hens have systems that can handle it.
In any case, I'm very sorry to hear you lost her. please accept my condolences.
