Weird Noise When Hen Shakes Head....

I would not treat with Corid. It's not an antibiotic, it is not an antihistamine or allergy medication, it's a Coccidiostat and will not treat anything but Coccidiosis (overload of Coccidia).
Not sure what a controlled quantity means? There's correct dosing and then there's guesses?
The amount you have posted is not correct. I will give you the correct dosing so that folks who read this in the future will hopefully get the dosing correct.
Liquid Corid dose is 2tsp or Powdered Corid Dose is 1 1/2tsp per gallon of water given for 5-7 days as the only source of drinking water.
Thanks for clearing that up, I wasn't sure the 100% correct quantity per gallon and I'm so happy that you helped correct my post. Also I said Corid because I thought coccidiosis was a slight possibility and something to consider. But now I'm almost sure it's either skin hitting itself or a respatory/allergy infection.
 
I'd suggest poultry dench or Corid for her water. Also it could be just a normal thing that comes and goes like a bad habit. I actually see my chickens doing it on spring days when allergies are really bad and it makes me wonder if chickens get allergies too. Also my broody hen did that alot last year around the middle of incubation can't remember if allergies were bad at that time or not.
I thought Corid is used for coccidiosis, not respiratory symptoms.

I was leaning more towards VetRX since that's all natural, just not sure if I should have her drink it or rub it around her comb since she's been rubbing her face more her normal on the ground.
 
I heard it. It sounded like a wet rattle. No idea what is is..sorry. Do silkies have wattles under all that poof? Could they be smacking against her neck or chest if she’s pulled feathers to brood?
She doesn't have any wattles. I almost wonder if it's her beak smacking someway, haha. There can only be so many potentials and I can't find anything online other than a few posts on here.

You can use Corid just in a controled quantity. I think it's like a teaspoon per gallon of water, but I think you might want to make sure. You can give it to anyone on the flock and coccidiosis is just a possibility that's why I suggested it.
