What are the signs? Have you noticed ataxia and head tremors? If it is AE, you may as well destroy the ones that have it, because they most likely won't recover. You can get a vaccine for the others, but I'm not sure how much it would cost. The others have probably already been exposed. Also, make sure you remove any affected chicks, and thoroughly sterilize the brooder or whatever the others are in.
