This is one of my barred rock pullets that I just noticed has a puffed up jaw. She is about 5 months old and isn't laying yet. She seems to be feeling well otherwise, and acts normal. Here are some pictures. On one side her eye is swollen shut but the other one isn't. There don't seem to be any other symptoms other than the swelling.
