You need to sterilize the living quarters of all the birds. Oxine is best, ( the kind without crystals) if you can get it, you can mix it with water, I use about a quarter cup to a gallon of water, and spray everything, including misting the birds. One place you can get it is www.firststatevetsupply.com. Wash all the feeders and everything you can. You need to provide more info, including pictures, if you can, for more help. The best thing to do is, if you have another bird die, get a necropsy done. Contact your vet or your State agriculture department for how to do this, and the cost.

Keep your remaining babies warm and as well fed as you can. If possible, put them in clean, unused living quarters.

So sorry for your losses.
