Help! Please could anyone advise??

We found one of our young hens dead this morning without a mark on her. She was fine yesterday, active and feeding. 3 of the other 4 hens I noticed today are sneezing/coughing and have runny noses. Is there something I can treat them with as I am now really worried that she died of something contagious and we don't want the rest of our ladies to die too!

If I am being silly and hens just fall off their perch sometimes please do not be afraid to tell me!!

Many thanks if you can help!

Hi, chickens don't just die, they get sick then die or get very old then die. Sounds like you might have a flu or bug there, how are the others today? Keep them warm with lots of food and water.
