Of course it would be best to have a vet or lab advise a treatment plan.   Can you post a picture of your sickest one? Keep in mind that antibiotics won't work if it's a virus.

If it gets much worse I will go to a get. This guy is to be my foundation roo for my new flock. Pics soon, gotta drive for a bit.

hey Rockingham! I aint too far from you, what kind of chickens/animals you got?

2 rir, a leg horn, a wyandottie, a Brahma, 2 ee, a silkie , 2 cats, 4 dogs (5 including me ) 3 youngens, and one woman that has to put up with me. How about you @moomoodiddy

Sure, you can join in; just bring a heater with you (and I don't mean a gun...got plenty of them)   

Lol it's a cold one out there today for sure. I'll leave all my guns on the racks, beside the bed , and in the bathroom.

idk,my blue egg layers are laying one blue egg every other day.and the olive eggs I can get from someone else but last time I had some with saddle shape air cells,ruptured air cell.

Well, in the end it's your decision; nobody can make it for you, nor do they have the right to. My advice is to go with your gut feeling, based on which ones you think will give you the best chance for a good hatch.

That sounds great! You've got lots of options then

What's your favorite breed?
And what sells good around you where you have something people will want but there aren't 50 others of the same thing at the swap?
Around here, you can't go wrong with nice dual purpose birds. Barred Rocks are a good example- you can find reasonably priced hatching eggs and people like them for layers and for the table.
Then maybe you could also hatch some Silkies or another fun bantam breed or colored egg layer. See what sells the best for you and then hatch more of those

ee,sold best last time the adults sold for $30 a pop.I am Hoping to set eggs and have baby's for the next swap.I wish my dad could work because then I could fine someone to get some different birds hatching eggs from.

I have medicated chick starter, will that be okay.
