Thank you so much for your reply! Do you recommend I do anything? Are there treatments I can give them and the chickens unaffected?

Details with photos can help. Swollen faces and eyelids, nasal drainage and other respiratory signs can indicate MG or coryza. Those are just 2 of the common respiratory diseases. Is there a bad odor, or cough, sneeze, head shaking, mucus dripping? Have you added any new birds in the last couple of weeks?

I don’t see any signs of fowl pox scabs.

Hello, thank you for taking your time to help me! They are extremely hot in body temperature, sneezing is constant, head shaking, and they are mucus dripping. I did add a new bird around a month ago, however I didn’t notice anything wrong, but I am now starting to see she is also been mildly affected.

Here is some reading about MG (mycoplasma gallisepticum) a chronic respiratory disease also called crd. Tylosin powder 1 tsp per gallon of water can treat symptoms. Tiagard or Denagard (tiamulin) is another that may treat symptoms. If there is a bad odor from the face and thick yellow mucus from the beak, that may be coryza. Coryza is treated with sulfa antibiotics. Her is some reading about MG:

Tylosin can be ordered here, and dosage is 1 tsp per gallon of water for 5 days:
