If you can, I would return it to the person you got it from. You don't want to start out owning sick chickens. As a matter of fact, I think I would return the whole bunch. Sorry, I just can't help thinking that bird could have an infectious illness and the others would be carriers also. I would take them back, disinfect everything and start over. Speaking from experience, I wish someone would have told me the same thing last year before my flock was desimated by Marek's.
