I just don't know what to do. what if I treat it and it gets better and I put them in my flock and make my flock sick and the ones that I have hatching? and what if I cull them ( I couldn't cull them, I would have to have someone do it.) and its nothing that they would be forever carriers??

You might be dealing with MG(mycoplasma gallisepticum)many treat,but birds will remain carriers for life and with mg it can be passed to progeny from hen through egg. Periods of stress tend to cause outbreaks in affected birds. Managing outbreaks is key and practicing good biosecurity is a must.

Here is a link explaining different poultry diseases/viruses,you might be able to narrow it done by symptoms.

You are dealing with a respiratory disease, probably MG (mycoplasma gallisepticum) or coryza. You could treat them with L-S 50, Oxytetracycline, or Gallimycin in their water to help their symptoms or prevent secondary infections, but they have a contagious disease and all will be carriers. Culling may be an option so not to infect your other chickens, but you may want to sacrifice one and have a necropsy done to find out which disease it is.

Whatever you do make sure you are practicing good biosecurity. Change clothes/shoes and wash hands really well after handling the sick birds so you don't pass the germs to your healthy birds. But realize that you may have already passed the germs prior to now. It is a waiting game. It is worth trying to treat and researching all of the illnesses it could be. If a bird passes away a necropsy will be important to determine what it was and how contagious, it will also help you treat the others.
