Swollen face, culling, boosting other immunities, chicks around..

[GhettoRoo]

Hey everyone, so Im there with SERIOUS ask, and in very, very IMPORTANT look for treatment.
Swollen face. First time in my flock.
As I know this is one of the worst viruses, bird can have. As read, this can be as secondary infection? My birds are carriers of, sneezing and coughing, had chicks with shaking heads. Last year I got bubbly eye hens.

But till today everything was okey.
I have around 90 birds, very dear.
I got 24 laying hens,
4 roosters, very dear, one of them is reason how I get introduced to poultry.
10 battery hens + 1 more old rooster.
From those 24 hens, 6 are hatched, so, kind a dear.
11, 3.5 month old, hatched from own hen eggs.
21 pure breed chicks 8-10 weeks old, very dear, such a big money spent, emotions and effort.
18, 6 weeks old, a suprise from own hen which brood them by herself with own eggs.

I had my coop in two sides, with fence between, in inside corner I had 10 battery hens(bought before 10 weeks), 5 my old hens and 1 my old Rooster.
All other birds can get free range from second side to big fenced area, those 15 hens with 1 rooster I let like every second day free range.

Before two days I noticed first hen with swollen eye and wet eye, I immidiately slaughter her, today I slaughter one battery hen with swollen face.
My old rooster seems to close one eye, guess there is begining of virus.

Before week I made a second coop, where I put sick birds, had only 3 hens, coughing, sneezing, and put there 3 battery hens, which was kind a sneezing too, one today was with swollen face.

So, PLEASE HELP!!!

Im ready to cull all old hens to save my young chickens futures, there are very important roosters and hens too, luckily no one had shown signs.

I put all those battery hens in that second coop. Let my rooster free range with 5 mine old hens.
Im gonna put some antibacterial ointment on my roosters eye. With rooster we are known the longest, he is one of reasons im in poultry too.
But if he should be culled, slaughter to save others, then let it be so. Hard time for me now.
Im giving chicken starter to everyone now.

I hope you can get one of your sick hens or rooster tested for MG or coryza. ILT is another common disease, and sometimes these diseases can come in twos or more. Your state vet can do a necropsy on a dead chicken if you refrigerate the body, then send it in. If an chronic disease gets into the flock, it may be necessary to cull to get rid of a disease completely. That is why testing is so important to know what is causing the illness. Some diseases such as the ones above can make carriers of a flock for life.

Let them be carriers, whatever, but I need to make sure, no one gets those symptoms, and keep strong to dont get sick.

I could give one or two hens to vet. Today gonna ride to city, to talk. But in my country, no one give a shi%.
Thats why im there, not calling a vet. In vet schools, about birds, they get teached mby 1 hour in all semester.

One of roosters had start to shake his head from side to side. Remember this, I saw when neighbours rooster did exactly same, before few months.
Can the symptoms start from nose? I cant say exactly, but 1 or 2 battery hens looks like fishes now.

even im feeling sick, like something up in mouth. Like after coughing, some food get in nose canals..
