Help!! I think my chickens are coming down with something and I don't know what to do.

Hi, I know I have been posting a lot as of late but I've just been having so much problems. I linked three pictures of the sick ones and I don't know what they could have. It is not sour crop or impacted crop. I just need help please!

Can you give some background on this chickens, including ages, how long you have had them, if they are laying eggs, what you feed them, and what their symptoms have been. I read one of your other threads about the hen that died and may have had a crop disorder. Do you provide granite poultry grit for their digestion? Have you checked them for mites and lice? Were they wormed recently?

They are not laying as of yet and i don't think they were wormed as of recent. But the Serama and barred rock are close to laying. The Serama is 5 months old and the barred rock is 7 months old, the sasso age is unknown. The serama has started to swell under her eye and the barred rock is always sleeping or looking sleepy. The sasso is getting better but is still coughing, having mucus and the occasional laboured breathing. They have been checked for mites and lice and are also clear of crop disorders. They are feed grower feed and I haven't given any granite grit yet. I have been treating the Serama with terramycin and the sasso with duramycin and corrid in the event that she may have coccidiosis. I do not know if the sasso was vaccinated due to it and another chicken coming from a horrible poultry meat place. They have also had a major loss in energy and the Serama is not eating or drinking as much as she normally does.

Duramycin is not used for coccidiosis, but Corid is.

I know, I just also use duramycin. Also the Serama swelling is continuing and I'm scared that she may die. The swelling is under her eye.
