Peahen with swollen jaw?

[Poultrylady2022]

Hey everyone! I feel like I’ve been having a lot of trouble with my peafowl this year! Anyway one of my hens has a swollen face/jaw? and I’m not sure what’s causing it. I’ll attach pics below. She was fine yesterday then today she looks like this and she’s shaking her head and scratching her face quite a bit. Can anyone tell me what this might be and how to treat it? Thank you!

Also I feel like I should add in the pic where I have her mouth open in the very corner the brown stuff is dirt from where she’s been swinging her head around.

What happens if you pick that crud out?

I haven’t tried to pick it out. When I was looking at her I could see there was dirt but didn’t mess with it further than that. Is that something I should wear gloves for?

It is likely the onset of a sinus infection. Give her 1.0ml of Tylan 100 SQ.

I can’t get my hands on tylan. I do have some powdered antibiotics though do you have a recommendation for one of those?

Powered Tylosin would work.
