Please Help Hen Sneezing And Breathing Hard

I specifically asked the vet about that (hey, aren't most respiratory infections viral?) and she said they have had good success treating them with this particular antibiotic. It worked, and the infection cleared up. But now there's something else wrong with him. Please see

From browsing the posts, the head shaking might be gape worm? I dunno, going to take him to the vet tomorrow.

I have recently got 50 white cornish. Ever since Sunday I have lost one each night totally 5. Some make a raspy noise / sneeze/ breathing heavy. They are a almost two week old. Was at tractor supply they told me to add medicated food and electrolytes. Started that yesterday late morning. Lost one still over night. Is there anything else I should do? Or does it take time for the stuff to kick in. I am new to raising cornish/ this many at a time.
