Ethical Discussion- Should I Add Birds to my Flock?

[SuspiciousChick]

For short reading: I want to add 2 hens/pullets to my flock (all 20 weeks old) infected with mycoplasma. Is this ethical? Will they get badly sick after being exposed? How do I introduce new birds to my infected flock, if I can at all? Am I doomed to never add new birds until my flock passes? (Culling is out of the question).
Hello all! I am wanting to add two more hens/pullets to my main flock, which consists of 6 pullets and 2 cockerels. This is not an ideal male-female ratio obviously, and I’d love to up the number of girls for this reason. (If they start excessively mounting or fighting one of the cockerels will be heading to my bachelor flock.)
Anyways, the ethical situation comes from the fact that all my birds are carriers of mycoplasma. This was confirmed at the vet after bringing in a sick chicken. I feel torn. None of my birds are sickly at the moment, besides the occasional sneeze, and I am ordering Denagard (Tiagard?) off of Amazon to prepare for winter.
I would love to hear your thoughts, opinions, and experiences!

You won't know if you are going to have problems until you try it. Sometimes you have to offer a sacrificial bird. I'd personally pick up some less expensive birds from a clean source and see how it goes. It's the only way you are going to know.
