two chickens died in two days. need help

i don't know if it will make any difference but the "hay" i use is actually wheat straw. still a bad idea? i have used the same bail that is stored in a dry place for at least 1.5 years. i will get that Oxine AH today. no i have never wormed any of them. they couldn't have gotten into anything i have them all in a very large pen. i will add a video on here or a link to my FB video so you can see almost everything. i will report back about the poops. i have checked them for mites and lice and found nothing. thanks for all your help gang. i will keep you updated on this.video from FB and another video.
 
Personally, we use pine shavings. I believe straw and hay can (but not always do) lead to crop impaction. I wouldn't rule worms out just because they don't freerange. All it takes is for worms to introduced once (like bird poop on your shoe) and the cycle will continue forever.

Sorry, I don't have a FB account and can't see the videos. How are they doing? Do the poops still look normal? Good luck!
