Really infected comb on hen

[Stanlyb]

My little girl Priscilla was bullied as you can see and has gotten really bad, wounds are scabbed over. Her behavior is still like a normal chicken eating and drinking, I've been giving her amoxicillin and tylosin to try to help. I would like to tear myself because not many vets are avarian. What is your advice. Its been about a week and a half??

@Eggcessive, @Wyorp Rock, really need your input on this.

Poor thing. Her injuries will eventually heal, and it is good they didn’t harm her eyes. The little swollen bulbous areas on her comb, under the eye, and on the wattles look different. Do they feel hard or squishy? I would use some Neosporin on her comb wounds. The amoxicillin is okay to use, but why use the Tylosin? Does she have signs of a respiratory infection? Has she been bullied in the past? Low in the pecking order? Can you keep her near the flock while she is in a wire dog crate with her own food and water?

Neosporin without the pain relief ... Or Triple Antibiotic.
I was wondering why the Tyrosine ... Amoxicillin is for this application.

I'm not totally sure why she was picked on maybe she is low man. And the swollen bulbous are kind of hard but not like a rock. I was just being proactive with tylosin because i saw the swollen areas and bulbous.
