Could this be a skin yeast or fungal infection?

My poor Zebe has been sick for almost 4 weeks now.  She has been on antibiotics now for the swollen eyes for about 2 weeks (first Oxytetracycline and now Tylan 50).  Now there is some discoloration around the swollen part that makes me think of a yeast infection.  There is a patch between the swelling and her comb that reminds me of cradle cap on a baby.  Her flock mates (she's been separated for the entire time since I noticed she was sick), seem to have a whitish coloring to their combs and wattles.  I'll get pictures up in just a second (so much easier to start the thread on the computer but the pictures are on the phone).

I hope Zebe gets better!

Greyish coloring on the combs is caused by normal wear and tear in my experience, especially in hens that may be grabbed by a rooster during breeding.

Thanks for the well wishes with Zebe. My girls aren't even to laying age yet (hopefully getting close), and the potential roo is the youngest by about 2 weeks, so no hanky panky going on.

Did you ever figure out what this was? My chickens are looking the same.
