Also one of them after having to chase her down a little was wheezing, but after she calmed down she stopped, is this respiratory issue or just because she was running like mad to get from me?
I'm getting a little lost in this thread. Birds can wheeze for different reasons. I would see if it's a continual problem before treating... The birds haven't had a good home at all so I think just what you are already doing and providing them with a clean home is good. I don't treat for respiratory problems because if it is a cold it will clear up if it is more they will be carriers so I kind of let you nature take its course... I know that's sad. Keep an eye out... If you need to... Antibiotics are available at a feed store and you can treat them all. Hang in there and give them time to heal!!! A clean spot, heat and Vaseline on the legs!!!! Hope this helps.
