they would because they needed to stay fit
Some slaved would have enjoyed being treated as a well treated slave. However, most people would not want to be treated as a slave at all, because they were still treated less than human.
it depends on where you were. If you where a slave coming over to north America on a ship to be sold and you got sick before you reached land they would simply throw you overboard as they wouldn't want a sick slave to get all the other slaves sick. (Sickness would spread very quickly aboard slave ships as slaves were being stuffed into small rooms) If a slave became ill on a plantation it would have to be immediately reported to the overseer or master. The mistress of the plantation was usually responsible for the sick slaves.
If the slaves were sick, they would usually be thrown offboard and left to swim. This is because no-one would want to buy the sick slaves.
They were treated as the crew of any merchant ship of the time. It is likely, depending on the captain, that they were not treated well.
You would need to be more precise when describing "sick" There are many illnesses a hen can get and each can be treated differently.
