MHO about diseases in your flock:
Remove any and all birds who show signs of illness. Have a necropsy done. Know what you are dealing with. Do not guess, speculate, or stress until you know what it is. In most cases I believe people are wrong about diagnosing what they have. When you know what you have read about it. Learn about the disease, talk to people who know about the disease. Most diseases you have to cull the whole flock if you want to introduce new birds. Most diseases you can't eat them or the eggs. Ask the State vet before you do anything. Every case is different. Most vets have little to no knowledge about avian diseases. Find a specialist in the disease your birds have. I believe many people have health issues with birds because too many in too small of space, incorrect breed of bird for chosen location,(birds bred for cold weather living in Florida) in closed housing for birds that are meant to forage, (Dominique's in a fly pen) raccoon and possum droppings that infect the flock. Metabolic issues from over medicating. People purchasing different breeds because they are cute or pretty and put them with a flock that is totally different and expect them to be healthy on the same fare.
