Poor baby looks ill. Her eye looks a little swollen as well. Is her other eye normal? Any bubbles or runny nose? Any coughing or sneezing? It could be respiratory. What exactly did the feed store sell you? Is she eating and drinking?

It looks like she has fowl pox, a virus from mosquitoes which lasts about 3 weeks. Her eye which is sunken with conjunctivitis, can be a common secondary infection seen with pox. Does she have any respiratory symptoms? I would rinse her eye with saline and apply some plain Terramycin eye ointment or plain Neosporin or triple antibiotic ointment twice a day. I might even treat her with Tylosin in her water for 5 days in case she is showing signs of MG. Here is where to find Tylosin:

Her eye is normal, feed store saw the same pictures of her eye told to use a fish antibiotic that is good for chickens twice a day and to isolate her

It is her left eye that looks more sunken than the right eye. I do think that is conjunctivitis. Fowl pox is a virus that does not respond to antibiotics. Conjunctivitis which many times is MG (mycoplasma) does respond to Tylosin. Amoxicllin and some others will not treat that. What antibiotic from the feed store was recommended for you? Here is some reading and pictures about fowl pox virus:

Left eye looks to be sunken and possibly infected. In one of your photos, she also has some bubbles.

I agree, I'd try Tylosin to see if that helps. Fish antibiotic, if Amoxicillin will not treat symptoms of MG since it has not cell wall.

I'd rinse out the eye as needed an keep some Terramycin eye ointment in the eye.

For the Fowl Pox lesions, you can paint some Iodine on those (not the eyes) to help dry them up. Don't rub the lesions which can cause them to spread.

She is making like a crying noise and sometimes opens her mouth as she stretches her neck, I’m so scared don’t want to loose her
 
Is she able to drink water and eat? Can you look inside her beak with a light to see if there is anything like yellow material or canker in there? She might be having trouble seeing her water, so make sure that she is getting enough fluids. I would get some Tylosin for her. Fish amoxicillin will not treat possible mycoplasma respiratory infection. Your vet may be able to help you get it sooner than mail ordering.
