Please Help. Did I Mess Up?

This morning the one's eye was a tad more puffy and seemingly itchy.

I also got some permethrin dust that will arrive with the liquid corid today. Saw 2 bugs shaped like small grains of rice go across the young roo's wing last night.

Have corid coming today but I'm honestly not convinced it's cocci.

I ordered some tylocin in hopes its a respiratory issue. Problem is I don't know when it'll arrive. Fingers crossed they hold on till I get the treatment!
Good, I'd try the Tylosin as well.

Since they are in a new environment, on new ground and not feeling up to par, it would not hurt to start them on Corid to give them some help to build resistance to the strains of Coccidia found in their new home.

For swelling eyes that seem itchy, I'd rinse with saline, then put a dot of Terramycin eye ointment or Original Neosporin in the eyes to help soothe and hopefully fight any brewing infection.
 
Still waiting for the Tylocin to show up. Ugh... no ETA date.

Currently treating with VetRX.

One pullet has this new sore on her mouth. And runny, slightly puffy eyes.

Do the best you can.

For eyes, rinse with saline, then put a dot of Terramycin eye ointment or Original Neosporin in the eye(s).

The sore on the beak, does it go inside?

She has some mottling on the comb and it's hard to tell, but does she also have a few scabs or lesions on the comb? I'm thinking Fowl Pox, but could be wrong. IF those are lesions or scabs, I'd preemptively start treating those with Iodine to help dry them up.
Same with the visible sore on the wattle, paint it with Iodine.
Take care not to really disturb the scabs or pick them off. They still may get worse looking if its Fowl Pox, but hopefully it will cut it down a bit.

Make sure the water stations are cleaned daily.

Hopefully you can get the Tylosin soon.

Is she eating o.k.?
 
Eating relatively ok. Sometimes I have to tempt her with treats to get her interested in eating the crumbles.
Her and one other pullet have the puffy eye thing going on.
 
Sorry - but you should have listened when the supplier said they were a bit sick and asked more questions.
But what is done is done - you are doing your best - follow the instructions given above - and all the best for a successful outcome.
Do not get birds from this unsafe supplier again.
