Thank you all for your support. As far as how or where they got it I'm not sure. I have no idea they have never seen the flock and only have been out on grass for 15 minutes and like I said that was two or three weeks ago while we were upgading their brooder. They have been doing great up until yesterday. Even the night before they were all seeming fine and perky and healthy. I have no idea what to think.
There are two other brooders with older birds in them that have not yet been fully integrated with the flock outside but they have not had contact with the 7 weeks olds. The plan was to start introductions this week. Obviously that didn't work. So does everyone think I should go ahead and treat them all? And if so are the eggs safe to eat? Should I also treat my outside flock as the oldest birds in the brooder do spend all day outside with them?

Help this is the first I'm dealing with this and last night I had nightmares that I walked in the sun porch and almost all of the birds in the brooders were dead. it was a very long night last night but the three seven week olds left all survived the night. Should this give me hope or should I still be very worried? I have been giving the two who seem the worse off(the third seems completely healthy) egg yolk laced with electrolytes to try and help them through this.

Any and all advice would be appreciated thanks. And please keep hoping and praying for the chicks and my flocks

Thanks. But I still have 5 other chicks! So hopefully one of them will start to like me a bit more.

Depends...how high can you stack them & are you using butter to grease the sides to get more in there?
