Hi everyone i'm relatively new to raising poultry, i've only raised a few annual food flocks with my family as a child, so I decided to have my own pet flock now that i'm older. I went to my local poultry farm in Robertsdale Al to select my new pets but as soon as we took them home we started to notice problems. At first we noticed that my d'uccle has bent toes but we hoped it was something that could be corrected without it interfering with the birds life too badly. That night we noticed that the younger birds started sneezing, closing their eyes, become stiff, and eventually die. About one bird a night passed under perfect conditions 
We took the rest of the flock back to the breeder after 6 out of 11 of the babies died. When we went back we noticed that many of the birds in their possession were either dead or had runny noses, closed eyes, and stiffness just like in our birds! I believe it was a respiratory disease is there anything I can do because I still have the turkey I purchased from them and he has a runny nose and sneezes from time to time. Im very concerned for my bird and don't want sick birds to be sold to others.. Please help!
