Looks like we got the CRuD

I have a question/thought for you. Have you tried putting colloidal silver in their water? It works wonderfully well on humans I am sure it would work wonders on chickens. Depending on the strength of the silver a few drops per gallon for about a week would be enough to see a difference.

I was also wondering if the runny poop was coming from the relatively healthy chickens who have had antibiotic shots. If so give them some acidophilus. This is a naturally found organism in stomachs to help process food. Antibiotics will kill it off and cause runny poop. Once it is replaced things will return to normal. (by the way if you don't want to buy just acidophilus you can give them plain yogurt... it is added to many yogurts now. Just read the ingredients)

Keep us posted with updates.

So sorry about your problem 1Wild. I did not fully understand your predicament when I made my reply.
I bought 2 hens from the same place and carried them home in a cat carrier so they had very close contact. The one was clearly sick by the time I had got her home, but the other is still fine, so if it is the same as mine had perhaps it is not very contagious. I hope that yours will escape it. Try not to blame yourself. We do things because we get excited and happy and then when they go wrong we feel very down and depressed. We all make mistakes.

oh sweetie

do not feel ashamed :aww I did not want that at all, we have all done something that we have regretted. Gosh knows I have. Like I said what did we learn. I kinda dismissed the quarantine thing before & this really brings it home to roost.
