With all that's happening with my flock, I'm concerned as to which it may be. But did rub some monistat on her. Could it be cryoza?Could be Fungal Infection or perhaps some scaly face mites.
Looks like she's molting too.
It won't hurt to apply some anti-fungal cream/ointment to the skin to see if that helps clear it up.
The area around her eye is swollen but not sure how much is from me trying to pull her eyelid down to put drops in. Her eye has a bubbly appearance in the corner. The flock likely has mycoplasma (vet thought this a couple of years ago) but have had much illness the last month now so don't know if that's causing this too or how to proceed. No coughing, mucus, sneezing, pus.Does she have any respiratory symptoms?
Infectious Coryza is a bacterial respiratory disease. Symptoms include coughing, sneezing, mucous, facial swelling with pus in the eyes and a very bad odor.
Getting some testing through your state lab would help you i.d. some of the problems you are having. With this information, then you'll know what you are dealing with and can come up with a plan to treat or manage the flock.The area around her eye is swollen but not sure how much is from me trying to pull her eyelid down to put drops in.

I'm not sure where to even start now with any testing because I've already spent $1000.00 in vet bills with no real answers. That doesn't include all the Amazon order for Corid vitamins, monistat, Harrison's food, etc. As of this morning, five of the six do NOT have empty crops, which is one common denominator. The vet won't issue antibiotics without seeing every single one and taking them all to a vet office (they won't come to me either) and paying for all those office visits is pretty insane to me. And I don't even know if that's what they need.Getting some testing through your state lab would help you i.d. some of the problems you are having.

If you have Mycoplasma in your flock, birds will be carriers even when they show no symptoms. During times of stress or other illnesses/diseases, the symptoms can reappear and make it harder for birds to recover. Like most all respiratory diseases Mycoplasma can affect the reproductive system and contribute to conditions like poor shell quality, Salpingitis, egg hatchability, etc.
Symptoms of Mycoplasma can be treated with Tylosin or Tiamulin. While not a cure, these 2 can sometimes help the birds to overcome symptoms and feel better.
