Today it started with one(rhodie), was told not to separate and that it was no big deal, now I have two others. they are all 3(rhodie,welsummer, barred rock) eating and drinking, not lethargic or anything(so far) tomorrow we are getting anti biotics so hopefully that will help.
they were in cedar for the first 1 1/2 days(found out that its a no no) switched to pine/aspen bedding from petco. I clean their water 2-4 times a day depending on how active they are at kicking their bedding and such into the water. just separated the 3 from the others. their poo is also runny and brown, although one(barred rock) has solid normal poo. When they chirp or peep its on and off sometimes its hoarse and some times its not. they have been outside in the semi warm weather, theyve been running around, playing, stuff like that. although I was just told today, which ive never been told before my last chickens had no problem with this, they are not supposed to be around longer grasses or eat the grass at all? not sure if this person is just an idiot or am I?
they sleep normal so far, havent heard the raspy breathing for a while. but not sure what to do, please help!!

if you could get ahold of me quicker,
