Hello! I have a 1yr old red sex-link hen, and since Saturday one of her wattles has been very swollen. She also seems to have a small bump on one of her eyebrows. I’ve tried searching online to find the cause but didn’t find anything that matched exactly.
The swollen part of her wattle feels pretty hard and there’s a scab. Could it be a cut that got infected?
She’s eating and drinking and behaving completely normal otherwise.
Here are some pictures:

Any help figuring out what this is and/or how to treat it is very much appreciated!
 
Can you look inside her mouth?it looks like its swollen under her beak on that side also. Make sure nothing is stuck there.
