My hen' beak got chewed off and her face is SUPER swollen, how can I help with the inflammation?

So sorry for her loss, but am in total agreement that you did the right thing and what was best for her.

Sorry for your loss, poor girl but I think you done the right thing for her

You sound like a great chicken momma. I’m sorry you got dealt such a nasty hand.
I hope you have nothing but good health and good luck in the rest of your flock.

We never did find out what caused this horrible injury, did we? Thank you, @RooandherRooster for trying so hard to take care of this bird and ultimately making the humane decision for her.

I'm so sorry for your loss. As difficult a decision as it was, you were there and it was yours to make, and sometimes it is the best one to make. I'm so sorry it was necessary.

Not for sure, but I have a hunch. A few days after it happened, we found a dead raccoon in the beginning of our woods. It was on the trail that we have, by the water. It looked like it had a seizure or was choking or something. The way it was laying on its side and the shape of the sand moved around it, plus the muddy/sandy paws. So I'm willing to bet there might be part of a beak left when it decomposes, provided the bugs and other animals don't eat it.

And thank you all for your compliments!
