What is wrong with this chicken's head?? Anyone

Thank you for the update. Did your vet get a culture for testing, so that you will know for sure? Pasteurella is also known as fowl cholera. Here is some information to read on the disease:

There is a poulty center here via a university. The Vet gave me the number to have someone come out and check the other 17 and my entire set up. She said - if they recommend a different auntibiotics, to call and she will switch out what she gave me.
The other 17 passed all of my inspections & it's Day 2 of meds and the swelling in her ear is already half way gone.

I'm glad the ear swelling is down. Hopefully it's not fowl cholera. Here are a couple of threads on swollen head syndrome, just to read about it:

Thank you. I did read up on swollen head syndrome. I don't know for sure what this is...just that the antibiotics are helping her, for now and that's good. The thing is, her feet were warm to touch too & the vet was concerned about that. So it's best I get someone here to do a full evaluation
