Hen with one swollen earlobe

[Kcollins36]

I have a young hen who has one swollen earlobe any idea what this might be? There doesn't seem to be any other symptoms no sneezing no discharge from eyes or nose I do not see any swelling of the actual ear. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

We would need to see some clear pictures of the ear.

The left lobe is hard and warm. It's not huge but she is scratching at it.

Take a flash light and look into her ear right above the ear lobe to check for infection or ear mites.

Could this be an insect bite or sting?
