Can you give them electrolytes in their water? SaveAChick, pedialyte, and gatorade are good substitutes.

Most respiratory infections will affect one side of the face from conjunctivitis or swelling of a sinus, but sometimes both sides are affected.

So all the hens are breathing normal yay that i cann tell. But the one in the pic wigh the swollen eye i am worried about becouse the eye that is puffed up there is some thick liquid commi g out. Is this bad?

How does her face smell? I would clean the eye drainage off each day to keep it from crusting. Warm wet compresses to the eye will remove crusts, and apply some plain Neosporin, triple antibiotic, or Terramycin ointment to her eye twice a day. Vetericyn is also good, but pricey.
