Call your state vet. Many states offer no cost, or low cost necropsies. At least learn what you are dealing with. Not only should they not be near your flock, but I personally would be freshly bathed, wear fresh clothing, make sure my shoes are not the ones I wore around the chicks, and above all, make sure your hands are clean. I get the impression this might be more than a simple case of bronchitis, or pneumonia.
