Why are my chickens dying?

Question

I have 24 six month old hens (Rhode Island red/Bard rock). This was our first time to ever raise chicks but we successfully raised them all. Up till now they have been healthy chickens. As a temporary home we have been keeping them in our barn because we have not had time to build a coop nor the money to buy one. Well we have lost 2 chickens in the past 2 days and are worried we will lose more. We don't know what it is. Is there anyone who has any idea whats happening?
