sick Rhode Island Reds

[nanny chick]

We just had to kill one of my Rhode Island Red Hens. She had yellow runny poop and was becoming droopy. I have two other reds that had the same thing. These hens were approximately three years old. My other breeds are not showing any signs of those symptoms. I have four more Rhode Island Red hens left. Should I give my chickens some kind of medication.
