Rescued farmed chickens help

That is a noble thought, and I can understand you wanting to help them.  It is just that if you have healthy chickens already, you are going to infect them even if you the new chickens recover.  Most respiratory diseases in chickens are chronic--they are never cured, and even if they no longer appear sick, they are carriers for life.  Your old chickens will get sick, and then also become carriers. I am telling you this to help, not to be critical.  Here are 2 links that you can read about MG (CRD) and other common diseases--read about MG, coryza, ILT, and infectious bronchitis for symptoms and treatments:

I appreciate the info and will look the links over

Wow I had no idea it could be this severe. This sucks. They are about 40 ft from each other at the moment. In opposite shelters. I take it these birds are not edible either if I harvest them.
