I went to a large swap meet once when I was looking for BCMs, and noticed many cross beak and sickly chickens. Some people are honest and have healthy birds at swaps. Not only will some people bring sick chickens or carriers to swaps, those birds can expose someone else's birds who were healthy before. I walked away, and finally found a friend nearby who raised them.

I feel like a pest constantly posting about them and their progress i just hate having to wash my hands and worry about spreading it i disinfect and even change shirts even shoes, anytime i come in contact with them because i dont want to risk the other chickens catching it!

Posting here is the only way to learn. We have all been beginners, we are always learning. Someday you will be giving advice. Sorry about your chicks.
