@Mary Henga, you could be having a problem of Mareks disease which is viral in nature and best prevented by vaccination on the first day of their life. Mareks is best vaccinated at the hatchery, hence of importance to source your chicks from reputable companies to avoid the disease. For now supportive treatment is recommended. Bios security measures are important as well as disinfect the chicken coup and isolate the sick birds.
