Thank you all. I just checked all of "my" chickens and everybody is doing good. Out of the 20 sickos though, another one is going downhill as we speak. Very lethargic, starts with just standing, then losing balance, falling over, then gasping, twitching and dying. Something else that I noticed today which is kind of weird is their smell. I am having a hard time explaining it but they don't smell like my baby chickens. Their poop smells like it is a sweet, almost rotten smell, a little bit like decomposition. I cleaned them up thoroughly just now but the smell seems to also be stuck on them. I cannot wait to hear back from the avian vet close by. I will also look for the extension office tomorrow. This is rediculus (sorry about the bad spelling) and my hubby brought up a good point- if the guy gets personally insulting over 15 bucks something more is going on than what we know. For now, just to be extra save I am trying to handle the little ones as little as possible. I wash my hands all the time and do not even think about touching them until I am done with all chores. It is truly sad what people do to their animals. I sell chickens too but I would be ashamed of myself if something like that were to happen.
