This is the online forum for First State Vet Supply and Peter Brown is very knowledgeable on meds and their application. I really feel he could help you best with this problem (and ship any meds you might need overnite)

You may have read this before, but you can quickly get meds and advice from the ChickenDoctor (PeterBrown) at www.firststatevetsupply.com. There are many experts on this forum too and their advice is very good also. One additional thing I can suggest, that I haven't seen anyone mention, is that you need to disinfect everything. Now. Get some Oxine (1st state sells it); it is much better than bleach, and you can mix it according to directions 1st state will provide you and spray all the living areas, the birds themselves, and also you can put some in their drinking water to disinfect the water. While you are waiting for or looking for the Oxine, you might want to go ahead and disinfect everything you can with bleach solution. you can't use the bleach on the birds or in the drinking water, though., and I don't know the bleach to water proportion you should use. OK, dlhunicorn, you beat me posting about the chicken doctor! It's true, though, he is very good and can quickly get you whatever you need. We had a similar problem last year and thanks to him and our friends at byc, most of our birds lived to tell about it.

If the chicks are fresh from a bator and not from a broody hen who would carry many things of the local enviornment, you are 99% of the time just fine. There are very few things egg transmittable.

As for quarentine here. I have a few hutches and runs that I can use for raising chicks and holding back newly aquired adults that are portable.
