Hen acting weird

[TwitchysChicks]

Were they moving?
Could it be wax or a bit of infection since they have respiratory illness too?

General care for infected ears is to drop 1 drop in the ear (don't flood the ear!) clean/wipe what you can, then put a little triple antibiotic ointment in the ear.
IF there are mites in there, the Peroxide and ointment will probably smother them.
You don't want to load the ear up with stuff though, a little will do it. Watch the ears and repeat in a couple of days.

I'm hoping its that. Cuz there's no sneezing or coughing or weird breathing. Just a really hard head flick and bubbles in eyes

My neighbor just culled 2 today. The one had a huge swollen head that was filled with liquid. The other one had bubbles foaming out the eyes. Everyone else seems to respond to the antibiotics. Besides the occasional head flicking

I'm very sorry.
Can you send those to your state lab for testing?

Figured I'd keep a log now on everyone's behavior. Pei pei os extra nasty today attacking anyone who goes near the nesting boxes. Everyones lost their minds and some are feather picking. I literally dont know what to do and wish I never took in the new birds.

You've had a lot going on with your new flock, stay calm and take each day as it comes. You've been doing great and for now just see how it unfolds. You have a whole bunch of support here and 'chicken wisdom' second to none. You'll get through this

All I want to do is give up. Cant fix their head shaking. I dont see mites. I dont know what I'm doing anymore. I dont want mine to die. And everyone is going crazy and pecking each other. I need help here with me but nobody knows what to do but shoot the ones that stop moving. I'm so so lost. Didnt know this would be so hard. Its my fault for getting thise stupid chickens. He said they were healthy and laying. And their head twitch two days after was just "stress". I should have just gotten rid of them. I cant wake up another day not knowing what is gonna go wrong and I cant take the fighting. They havent fought until now. I just want this to stop. For the love of god just stop.

Have you tried disinfecting the coop, maybe add a solution of bleach/water and spray the whole thing down and scrubbing it? Or maybe a solution of Listerine/water might work too, and make sure to put on a mask.

Iv'e read through your ordeal and your logs, lots of not so good things going on. I found this link with common and not so common respiratory issues. You know these birds better than us, when you have a moment take a look and see if any of these fit your birds. Just from what i'm seeing this is a respiratory issue, with the head swelling, and head twitches and eye problems. Need to figure out which one though.https://articles.extension.org/pages/68290/poultry-diseases-of-the-respiratory-system

Yes. I don't think the lincomycin worked. Don't know what to do but find another vet who could prescribe me something other than linco.
