Young Rooster who breathes in through mouth noisy shakes head

Thank you all for the help. We did end up doing two rounds of the duramycin 10 yellow powder. We added a pinch of jello, per manufacturer, each time we made it. Did it for five days. fresh each day, then took a week off and then did another course. Worked wonders for the crew! thanks for all the info!

Hey everyone! This is only the second time I've posted anything, but I have learned so much from BYC. I have a Dominique hen who's about 1 1/2 years old doing some head shaking like she might have something in her ear. Two days ago I noticed her being less active than normal but didn't think too much about it. She was still milling around with everybody else. Then, yesterday morning she was still on the roost when I went out to the coop and it wasn't that early. Everybody else was awake and active. There was watery poop on the ground below her. I brought her inside, put her in a dog crate with pine shavings with food and water so now she isn't puffed up. I checked her crop which is small and her vent seems ok. She's not eating alot or drinking alot, but all in all she looks and acts fine except for that head shake. Whatever it is, I think I caught it early. No cold symptoms, but she is a bit off. Any ideas?

Her crop is small and not swollen and her chest seems fine.
