Tumor/Growth Avian Pox maybe ? pic

When I got him it was a small lump on his eye. I thought he was just pecked and didn't worry about it to much. Now it is getting progressively bigger and I am worried it could be Avian Pox. He was only with my flock for one day and they don't have any lumps forming anywhere. I have given him oral antibiotics and it hasn't helped. I don't know what it is and I don't know how to treat it please help. I really don't want to have to drain it. Or maybe it would be best to put him down though he doesn't seem to be in to much pain. He eats and drinks and flies around when I let him out of his hospital cage but does lay down a lot. He is almost a month old.

My hen has had the same looking thing growing in both nostrils for a year now. Still don't know what it is. Today I'm experimenting with dabbing peroxide on one nostril and dabbing ivermectin on the other.

I'm worried he will lose his eye and I'm not sure if I should make an incision and see if anything drains out...?

I think I would take the hen to the vet. Sometimes, if it's a tumor, there can be blood circulation in it, and it can't be cut out .
Maybe someone else can shed some light on this.

She ended up taking a turn for the worse and we lost her. Never will understand what caused the tumor thing :/
