lost 3 hens

Any chance they ate something rotten like a dead animal or the maggots off of a dead carcass or ingested something toxic like fertilizer, weed killer, etc?
Check your feed to see if any of it may have gotten moldy or rancid in the heat - this can happen quickly.

Their crops - are they empty by morning?

Your heat index is pretty high - I know you are doing all you can - the worst one, see if you can get some water or electrolytes into her. I'm very sorry for your loss. I hope this one recovers, but if you do lose her, sending her for testing would be a good idea so you can get some answers.
Please keep us posted.
 
CTP (curly toe paralysis) causes toes to curl & lameness is a Vitamin deficiency, Riboflavin as Eggcessive stated or Mareks. Vitamin B Complex, PolyVisol without iron & a riboflavin rich diet helps alot. Spinach, beef liver, hamburger, mushrooms, salmon, tuna, plain yogurt. I used boiled egg yolk mixed it with the feed, separated from the rest, some use the "sling". Check out the website "poultry podiatry".
