Please help me diagnose *updated in 1st post & added video*

I watched the video and I saw her bob/weave her head/neck a few times. I suspect that she's only adjusting her crop in which I wouldnt worry too much about it if that's what it is. Did the pullet that died do the same head/neck movements as with the bird in the video?

Hi dawg53, thanks for the help with the wormer, got it and started the hens on their 1st doze today.
No the hen that died did not do the head weaving thing and this hen that is doing it only started doing this, this week, up until then she had never done this.
 
One of my hens is doing the head-bobbing thing showed in the video. She is with one of my other hens who is regrowing feathers and I gave them new food today. I went out to the other birds and when I came back my hen was wheezing and doing the head bobbing thing. How do I solve this? D:

Not sure how it is solved, just have to wait and see if any one can come up with ideas and suggestions for us.
Good luck with yours, update me if you find any thing out.

Bawk_Bawk: The wheezing could be an environmental issue of some sort which can be corrected; such as dust from the feed, ammonia fumes from soiled bedding etc... otherwise it could possibly be the onset of a respiratory problem.
Marlene: Try giving your bird a small piece of bread soaked in olive oil. If there's someting stuck in her esophagus or crop, the olive oil soaked bread should help it move along more easily.
 
Ok Dawg53 i wil;l try that today. I really appreciate the help
