HELP!!

[birdlady79]

I went out this afternoon to give hens water.... My Maude girl is acting lethargic.... I brought her inside to cool her off bc it's hot here.... Then I noticed the side of her face swollen and hot... Her crop was also big so I've given her olive oil.... Any ideas? Maybe a sting?

Yes, she could have been stung. At this time of day it's normal for the crop to be bulging.

Here's some info on stings

Thank you.... She's acting ok now that she has cooled off.... I think crop is ok, but I did that incase.... Her face wasn't like that last night bc we wormed them..... Her ear seemed ok.. So I can't think of another reason why it would be swollen. Thank you!!
