I need advice

This is long and I apologize but I need some help. I had a hen drop dead out of no where, a few weeks later I noticed my 8 month old hen limping, then curling her toes, then walking on her hocks. Then it happened with the other leg so I took her from the coop and started meds, vitamins and such recommended. She got worse so we culled her. Then I noticed one of my roosters (8months) hunched over and staying alone. He had diarrhea, still ate and drank a lot even would perk up from time to time but stayed to himself. His diarrhea was watery, clear with some white in it and I thought worms but now I am wondering what the heck. I started treating my entire flock for worms, after 5 days he passed away. Am I doing something wrong? Are chickens hard to keep alive? Does this sound like Marek's? I'm a nervous wreck all my flock will die. They were free range and we all a sudden started having issues with hawks so I have been keeping everyone up. I used to feed producers pride but changed to a higher quality made by someone different. Idk if this makes sense, I just need some guidance as I feel I'm failing them.
