Hi! I have had my chickens since March 2023. I started with 9, but I’ve since lost one to a hawk. I have 5 Smokey Pearls, 2 Olive Eggers (although one lays light blue), and 1 Calico Princess. To date, I’ve never had any issues but recently looked into joining this group because one of my Olive eggers has a swollen waddle on one side. I’m looking for any advice to help her! Thanks!

I posted from poultrydvm. I have unfortunately become experienced with infectious coryza. Any swollen sinuses or facial swelling, nasal and/or eye discharge? Do you live in the SE United States or CA?

Welcome to BYC. Hopefully you find the answers you need.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

You might want to look up those disease/ailments @triciayoung posted above and see if those fit. Also may want to post this in the Emergency Forum too. Lots might jump in to help you narrow it down there.
