I live in Oklahoma. And the temps have changed a lot lately. From 15 to 50 degrees

Dont her waddles look swollen to you as well ? My eyesight sucks. I was wondering if that might be a little guinea frostbite.

I'm not completely sure, maybe.

Actually now that I look at him again. His waddles do look somewhat swollen.

I’m not too familiar with guineas but that looks like frostbite to me. More severe cases of frostbite swell like that and turn black. Have temps been abnormally low by you lately? How is ventilation in your coop?
The other thing I know causes swelling is an allergic reaction...
@Blooie not sure if you’re familiar with guinea, but I know you helped me with my hens’ frostbite. Does this look like frostbite to you?

The temps have been pretty cold lately, but it was warmer today. My Guineas don't have a coop they sleep on a roost. I haven't really dealt with frostbite before. If this is frostbite what should I do about it.

What I know about them is, um, nothing! So I’m prefacing my answer based on the fact that I’m speculating here....

It could be frostbite, looks pretty swollen. But it’s not horribly discolored yet and doesn’t look like there is any dead tissue on it. THAT APPEARANCE CAN CHANGE. Deep tissue damage can take time to show up. So don’t be surprised if you see some black or grey in a few days. For now, I wouldn’t mess with it. It’s probably sore and the more it’s messed with the more likely it is that infection could set in.

Again, I don’t know enough about guineas to advise because I don’t know if frostbite actually 5he issue. And I hope someone else who does will chime in.
