GRAPHIC! Chick with severely swollen face

[April’s Zoo]

I, too, think it’s probably an abscess, given the drainage from the eye and nostril. Be sure to let us know what the vet says tomorrow.

Sorry forgot to update! Vet thinks it's related to my random chicken deaths. He gave me an injection for respiratory infection twice a day.
He pulled an unrealistic amount of liquid out of the poor baby's face. It is still swelled and bruised, so he gave me gabepenten for pain. I know I screwed up that spelling.
So far swelling has stayed to a minimum, he still has issues seeing but he can now open his eye. Then we discovered that he is infested with coccidia for the second time THIS MONTH. I'm now treating with an anti diarrhea + sulfa powder.
No more free range for now, I was told to keep them confined or this will become a never ending cycle. My chickens have no immunity to coccidia when it's in this quantity. My property is just infested and there's no way to get rid of it.
To give an idea to how bad it is, I have huge Lavender Orphingtons. My adult roo is nearly 8 pounds and he's now only 6. This 4 month old Lavender Orph only weighs A POUND. He has no meat on him, so giving injections is a nightmare as the only "meat" is his organs which I have to avoid.

Also I meant Meloxicam not gabepenten. I'm tired and got drug names confused
