One of my hens has a swollen waddle and it's browning on the bottom around the edges., and they are not nearly as bright red as they have been, she's only recently started laying, so I'm hesitant on what type of medications to give.
I've moved her away from the others based on a few links I'd found saying it could be a couple of different diseases. She's fine other than hating being moved away from her family.
I noticed it last night, and the only medication I had was penicillin, which I crushed and put in with a gallon of water and gave her some of that. her poop seems fine, she's eating and drinking..there is no odor coming from her, no sticky stuff around her eyes, she's breathing fine..no other symptoms that I have noticed. Here are two pictures I took today..
The second picture she was trying to peck at the camera..
