Help with diagnosis

I have a 1.5 yr old chicken that has developed this white substance on her face also crust around her beak. Her face and feet swollen and feet are cracked open. I picked a spot of the crust off around her beak and it bled. She doesn’t want to eat and is weak.

Hopefully @dawg53 and @Eggcessive can both chime in too.

It looks like she may have Favus which is a fungal infection. You can try applying an anti-fungal cream that contains Miconazole or Clotrimazole to see if that helps. Wear gloves when applying the cream since the fungal infection could be contagious.

As for the feet becoming puffy and swollen, I'm not sure what may be causing that. Perhaps Gout. Can you get some photos of her standing so we can see both feet?

Thank you, I can get standing pictures in the daylight

It appears to be scaly face mites. Ivermectin will treat them. Purchase Ivermectin Pour On and put 4-5 drops on bare skin on the back of the neck, repeat again in 7-10 days. It will also treat scaly leg mites. Provide vitamin A.
Keep the bird separate/away from other birds.
