Thanks for reaching out about your chicken and including a photo. Has you seen a veterinarian yet? This appears to be a sinus infection, whether bacterial, fungal or viral, needs to be determined. Isolation from other birds is recommended to decrease contamination but also to monitor water/food intake. Providing heat support could make more comfortable. Good luck.
