I switched to full layer pellets with probios probiotics and apple cider vinager or homemade kombucha. Never had that problem again after started making sure song birds couldn't get into loft/around where they land pick ect (no open wire top, only side inch hardware). Antibiotics only stopped temp and back harder, just keep your loft dry and clean scrape daily then rinse refilling waterers and don't leave uneaten feed out. In control groups not treated and protected because of song birds, and left under/near trees the nesting migratory song birds lived in yearly.
It's something they get from tiny migratory song birds, same as chickens getting. Stop the lil peckers from coming around, and I stopped getting sick young birds. This was doing control studies with the song birds, insects, rodents ect, only allowing and encouraging each into some of lofts.. only the song birds produced problems, and once stopped song birds, no more problems,so I can safely say it's the tiny song birds causing sickness.
Andrew always watch there droppings and if you fly your young birds naturally i e no dark system you can watch the moult if you get less to no feather in the morning they r just some of the things i watch for and I use rotaboost 500 just be vigilant

I’m using apple cider vinegar at the moment
How much vinegar?
Be very surprised if you haven't had young bird sickness. Because if seems the norm these day to get it,
Don't feed for at least 24 hrs then diet
