Yellowish bumps, swollen face on rooster, pls help

@azygous @Wyorp Rock Update: Speedy is still alive. Hes not doing any better but I can’t tell if hes worst. Hes still very lazy and lethargic and doesn’t want to eat or drink. Still sneezing and labored breathing. I’ve been giving him doxycycline twice a day for 5 days now. He also gets 3-5ml of eggyolk morning and night (also 5 days). I’ve attached recent photos of him. Please advise 😔

Poor guy!
Doesn't look very good does it?

I would be tempted to take him off the layer feed and feed an all flock instead. Your hens can eat that too, just provide oyster shell free choice.
The hens are still not having any issues?

Is there a way to take a sample of his poop to a vet to have a fecal float or gram stain?

All the other chickens are fine. I wont be able to take him to the vet. Should I continue with the doxycycline? Can I force feed him? Tia
 
When one of my chickens was sick and wouldn't eat, I used poultry nutri-drench from tractor supply and it helped keep her alive and her energy up, although her disease was fatal. I might try that or force feeding.
