Mycoplasma gallisepticum? Please help.

I hate to say it, but this is most likely MG. I dealt with MS a few months ago in chicks that I picked up from a local breeder. The good news is that you don't have to give up on your other flock yet! There is the possibility that your other birds aren't sick! We ended up culling the sick chicks. It saved our established flock. Here is the link if you want to see the detailed process we went through.

Oh, I hope not:(
Sorry about the MS.
I wish. I’m afraid that all my birds have been exposed by now.
Thank you for the link. I’ll check it out if I find time.
 
I was too, but my flock was tested and determined to be free. They can do swabs which meant I didn't loose a bird that wasn't ill.
Well, I’m glad that yours were ok, but my focus live right text to each other. The only thing separating them is wire.
I appreciate you optimism and advice though!
 
Sorry I didn’t update sooner! I totally forgot.
They seem to be doing somewhat better. I’ve been giving them oil of Oregano. I know it won’t cure whatever this is, it seemed to help relive some symptoms.
The chick with the watery eye looks almost normal. The swelling is mostly gone, and it’s only a tiny bit watery. I’ll get pics later.
I still notice rales and sneezing in others. One other had a foamy eye.

I’m try to find somewhere else to get them tested. The darn state still hasn’t called me back, despite me calling again.:he
 
I'm glad they are doing better, but the fact that the state hasn't gotten back to you is absolutely apalling. MG is a serious disease, but it is 100% curable. You have to give them some proper antibiotics, but for now you can give them some garlic juice water. Take one head, squeeze it and then mix the juice with water (5 liters which I believe is a little over 1 gallon). It's a natural antibiotic and while it won't cure MG, it may help alleviate some of the symptoms.
