In order to determine what the issue is, we need to know more about your setup.

Are your chickens penned, or do they free range? If penned, how large is there pen? Have you ever had chickens before on your farm, did the previous owners have chickens? Have you brought new birds onto your farm in the last month or so? If you have, did you quarantine them from the rest of the flock for several weeks before integrating them? What do you feed your chickens?

There are any number of things that could cause what you're seeing, not the least of which is coccidiosis, Marek's Disease, or some other bacterial or viral issue.

If you are having multiple chickens die, it would be best, in my opinion, to have a post mortem done on one of them to determine what disease you're dealing with. In what state do you live? Have you contacted your state vet's office?

That's what I would do, if I were having the troubles you are.

Tell us some more and perhaps we can help you suss this out.
