Plugged sinus? Dark Cornish hen

[snowydiamonds]

Life Below Zero Alaska?? I love that show!

How long has she has this?

It started just before a sudden freeze up, it rained and then froze. They were in the summer coop and I had to hurry and get them in the winter coop last month. We normally don't have such an early freeze up.

With it being hard I'd guess it is some type of tumor. I'm not too sure anything can be done.
Maybe
@casportpony can advise?

I don't have TV/cable/satellite so have never seen that show.

I separated her from the main 9 hens last night.

I am NOT familiar with frostbite, but I wonder IF it could have something to do with frostbite...

No, its not frostbite. I've tried researching images and posts of similar and believe its either a plugged sinus or a tumor. I hate to lose her as she's one of three dark Cornish I have left but she's getting on in age. I do want to protect my laying flock and not have her suffer. She seemed fine other than the Banty size lump.

I order the feed in and sometimes to my dismay it contains mold bits that I pick out. It takes about a week to get here so returning it is a hardship. I give them oats and sunflower seeds along with some chard or kale and oyster shell.

Looks like pus or a tumor.

They have a deep litter winter coop that is insulated, three windows, the litter is a mix of straw and cedar shavings, mainly clean straw. And its a good sized building like a normal sized bedroom since our winters are longer than our summers.
