Yesterday, out of nowhere, my hen's face became inflated. She shows no other signs of sickness or lethargic behavior. I’ve done much reading and research on what the problem could be, but, as I mentioned, her behavior is completely normal other than the swollen face. Assuming, almost, worse case scenario, I picked up some tylan 50 to see if that will help if she in fact has any upper respiratory disease.
2 questions:
1- is anyone familiar with a chicken’s face becoming swollen out of the blue? (No signs of discharge from mouth or eyes, no bubble in eyes, breathing & eating & drinking normally, waddles & comb not swollen or change in color, no sign of bite or sting, and swollen on both sides)
2- Using Tylan 50. I prefer to inject it in her, she is very stubborn and other methods would not be an option for her. I’m not sure how much I am supposed to inject directly into the breast (some say ¼ cc, some say ½ cc, some say under the skin, some say into the breast). She is a standard size chicken, not quite a year old. Any help and suggestions would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
