1-2 year old speckled Sussex has swollen face on one side.

My almost 2 year old speckled Sussex Sugar has a swollen face on one side. What could the cause of this be? Should I be concerned? She seems to be acting normal. Pics of both sides of her face below.

Normal side

Thanks in advance!

Just remembered when I picked her up I tried touching it and she freaked out. Maybe it hurts? I know chickens are really good at hiding it when they’re sick.

Ok… treatment? Is it contagious? Is it deadly?

Did it say anything about a puffy face? It didn’t seem like it did but I might have missed something.

Could it just be a sting? That’s what I’m hoping it is.

Yes, it's upper respiratory, probably mycoplasm. The facial swelling is the sinus cavity being swollen with mucus... exactly like when your nose gets stuffy when you have upper respiratory illness.

Vet RX used as directed on comb, wattles, under wing, inside the beak and in water, isolate her in warm sheltered place to prevent spreading, and listen closely for wheezing, gurgling. If she develops wheezing or gurgling then she immediately needs antibiotics. You can treat/ administer antibiotic without a vet. If you need assistance doing so, you can ask here. Best of luck.

Thanks! The one thing is I’m not sure if it’s that serious. We have a lot of wasps out and there is a little bump that could be a sting. But then again what do I know.

Also is mycoplasm deadly?
