I just googled the symptoms you said and it came up as Chicken Influenza or Fowl Cholera. I would ask others on her. I hope you can find out whats wrong.

None of the sick ones (or healthy) have any sneezing or respiratory symptoms at all tho. I did google it as well.

I'm leaning toward needing a dewormer. I mean they are old, but a few in a row is more likely something communicable. Thinking about getting SafeGuard (for goats). Anyone know what the dosage would be for the chickens and Theo (dog)?

I have seen the information in the forums here, have to pick thru the post.
I typed in safegaurd in search, upper right corner did quick look found this.
Warning, only read some of the post, some talk of dosage.

Why is my chicken waddle turning purple?


Circulatory or respiratory issues can cause a decrease in oxygen flow to the comb and wattles, resulting in the chicken comb turning purple. These issues can be caused by various factors, such as heart disease, lung infections, or parasitic infestations.

Gapeworm (Syngamus trachea) is a parasitic infection of thin, red worms which live in the trachea, and sometimes the bronchi or lungs, of birds. They can affect chickens but are more common in turkeys, waterfowl (ducks and geese) and game birds (pheasants etc.).

Might not sound pleasant, but you could do a autopsy.

Just some stuff I found hope you find your problem.

Coop update! We’ve modified the plans to make the coop less ‘farm house’ looking. added more ventilation spaces, one window facing south. Automatic door installed today as well.

Badger, that coop is coming along real nice.
eventually you can put roosts underneath for when your
flock grows out of hand..
Yesterday I switched to short pants. as soon as I
put them on, the sun went behind the cloud/smoke and it
started cooling down. today I am back in my jeans..
