You should post a pic so people can get a better idea of what might be going on. Could she have gotten bitten by a bug or something? Do you think it might be infected? Is she eating/drinking/pooping/walking/sleepy?
 
were on her head? around the eyes and beak could be a sinus infection, look it up in the search lots of info there
 
HAHA ill do my best to get pics shes a feisty one it took about an hour to get her yesterday but I have no idea I would figgure if it was a bite we wouldnt be going on 2 days of swelling and if it was thats alot of poison? she acts completly fine she eats free ranges flys poos ill describe it to you all for now till I can get a pic her skin is red her comb waddles are swolen from her neck up is swolen it reminds me of the girl from willie wonka that swelled up like a blueberry but red and only her head
