Such incidences may occur due to non REO vaccinated parent flock chickens , Staph., MS infections or due to certain deficiencies and sometimes mycotoxins also play a role.
However, they should respond to indicated antibiotics and highly bio-available Calcium and other nutrient source, if it is not due to REO.
You may need to recheck all the above to find out the cause and treatment as well.
