All my chickens sneeze, One shakes his head, and I can sometimes hear him breathing what do I treat with, do I need to?

I really don't have a quarantine area. Don't think I can build one. Can I put the new birds in at night, and then treat the entire flock for whatever? If I can treat them, then with what? In case you can't tell I'm a little bit lost.

If there are 3 roost 4 ft wide how many chickens as banties ( standred chickens 2X Banti.) The other half of the coop is nest box. They have an huge run outside.

At walgreens there was a preadtor motion activated light with ultra sonic sound, that worked up to 30 feet. Did I mention solar powered? I don't want to bother the chickens with the noise it makes. Can chickens hear ultra sonic sounds???
