You didn't give many details. Are they on the ground where they might have been exposed to cocci? Do they have access to compost or poisonous plants? Are they on medicated feed? There is a set of questions in a sticky at the top of this forum.

One cause of sudden death in chicks is cocci, although you usually see bloody poop at some point. Treatment is Corid.
